Lugana Wine: Lake Garda's Serious White
What is Lugana wine? A guide to Lake Garda's white: the Turbiana grape, the clay soils, the five official styles, how it tastes and how it ages.
Italy's largest lake, uncovered
Lake Garda sits at the foot of the Alps yet produces olive oil more typical of the Mediterranean south, alongside wines of remarkable freshness and complexity. The lake's thermal microclimate creates conditions found almost nowhere else in Italy. These guides explore the western Lombard shore — its olive groves, its estates and the tasting experiences that turn a visit to the lake into something far more memorable than a boat trip.
Enouting offers private Lake Garda tours combining olive oil and wine experiences at selected estates on the western shore. Our team has direct relationships with the producers featured in these articles.
