Centofilari Lugana DOC
Centofilari Lugana DOC hails from a single vineyard that flanks Veneto’s border with Lombardi along the southern shores of Lake Garda. Floral and citrus fruit aromas abound on the nose of this full-bodied white. It boasts good minerality and balanced acidity with a pleasantly soft, lengthy finish. Fermented in stainless steel, it rests in contact with the skins for several months before blending.
