Thanks to the mixture of flora and fauna, the woods represent an important basis of oxygen and balance necessary for eco-friendly viticulture. Every vineyard has its own particular characteristics in terms of exposure, altitude and soil composition. Each one occupies an optimal position and is between 35 and 65 years old.

New generation:

Borgo Maragliano is a cellar that is looking to the future, through the eyes of the new generation, represented by Carlo and Silvia’s sons: Giovanni, Francesco and Federico.

With elegant lingering bubbles and a creamy texture, it’s made from a top selection of grapes that give it clean and enchanting aromas.

On the palate, it’s balanced, a joyous but delicate wine, with a silky acidity.

Lugana DOC San Benedetto 2020

The Zenato Lugana San Benedetto is made from a selection of the best grapes from the eponymous estate. The vineyards are some of the appellation’s most historic and are considered to be among its best.

Rich in personality and with great depth, this wine delivers a wide spectrum of fresh and complex aromas on the nose.

It’s full-bodied and full-flavored in the mouth, with notes that shift from dried apple and pineapple to pear and vanilla. Its long, brilliant finish lingers with delicious results.

Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato 2018

This Lugana Riserva is the fruit of the Zenato family’s genuine passion and a reflection of their history in the appellation.

The grapes for this wine come from the oldest vines on their Podere Massoni farm. They are harvested slightly late, around mid-October.

Fermentation takes place in oak cask (70%) and stainless steel (30%).

Light brilliant gold in color, this wine delivers intense multi-faceted aromas on the nose, with floral and citrus notes, spices, white plum, and vanilla.

On the palate, it’s rich in flavor, with great depth and balance. An ideal white for aging.
