Lugana DOC Centofilari 2025

This Lugana is named after the vineyard Centofilari located south of Lake Garda – where its Turbiana and Chardonnay grapes are grown. Vinification takes place in stainless steel, with contact with lees for three months to fully express its aromatic potential.

Lugana Centofilari 2025 was shaped by an overall favourable growing season, supported by good water reserves, a cool spring and a summer that encouraged steady, balanced ripening. Late-season diurnal temperature variation helped preserve freshness and aromatic expression, resulting in a wine of balance and refinement. In the glass, it displays a bright straw-yellow colour with golden highlights; the nose reveals floral and citrus aromas layered with notes of tropical fruit, ripe apple and peach. On the palate, it stands out for its vibrant freshness, pronounced minerality and long, persistent finish.

climate trend

The 2025 season in Lugana was overall favorable, with good water reserves ensured by winter rainfall and a cool spring that supported balanced vegetative growth. Early summer heat accelerated the ripening phases, while more stable conditions in the latter part of the season allowed for steady development. Diurnal temperature variations toward the end of the season helped preserve freshness and aromatic expression, while September rainfall required careful harvest management, ultimately yielding healthy, well-balanced grapes of high quality.

vinification & maturation

Lugana Centofilari is produced according to the classic white winemaking process. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 16°C, following gentle pressing of the grapes.
