Consorzio Tutela Lugana Doc
Italy, Peschiera del Garda
About
Consorzio Tutela Lugana has been pro-actively pursuing its mission to assertively monitor, defend and promote Lugana D.O.C. wines ever since it was founded in 1990. As a promoter, the institution also seeks to raise awareness and add value to the Lugana brand by participating to the most important national and international trade fairs, and by organizing events apt to educate and enhance the public’s recognition of the image and quality of Lugana wines. In 1967 Lugana was the first wine made in Lombardy and among the very first in Italy to earn a D.O.C., which recognizes the historical and inseverable tie between this particular white and its specific region of origin. Lugana is the name of a magical land nestled within the ancient Quadrilateral defence system of the Lake Garda region, bordered by Sirmione and Pozzolengo north and south, Derenzano and Peschiera east and west (with Lonato being the firth town). The Lugana wine region encompasses two provinces (Brescia and Verona) and two regions (Lombardy and Veneto) in the morainic plain south of Lake Garda.
