Lugana DOC Clay 2020 Cascina Maddalena

The Lugana DOC Clay 2020 from Cascina Maddalena is a white wine with personality, made from Turbiana 100% and produced only in the best vintages. It is a wine that accurately interprets the territory of Lugana di Sirmione, enhancing the characteristics of the clays that shape its style and strengthen its taste profile. The careful selection of grapes and the limited production make it an interesting choice for those looking for a deeper, tauter, and more gastronomic Lugana.

Territory and wine style

This wine originates from the Lugana area, one of the most recognizable regions of viticulture in the Garda area. Here, the calcareous-clay soils contribute to providing balance, sapidity, and a well-defined mineral imprint. Clay, which means clay, directly evokes the identity of the wine and its connection to the soil. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging on fine lees, followed by development in steel and bottle: a path designed to preserve freshness, aromatic precision, and structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense straw yellow, bright and inviting. The bouquet expresses yellow peach, apricot, sweet flowers, orange blossom, and lemon flower, with an elegant finish of flint that adds depth and tension. On the palate, the Lugana DOC Clay 2020 stands out for its significant structure, marked freshness, and pleasant mineral sapidity. The sip is full, harmonious, and persistent, with a clean and vibrant finish that invites another taste.

Recommended pairings

Its body and acidic drive make it ideal with flavorful lake dishes, such as pike with polenta, but also with baked fish, white meats, delicate risottos, and preparations where the fatty component requires balance. It pairs well with fresh cheeses and not overly spicy seafood cuisine, where the wine's mineral profile finds excellent enhancement.

Serving temperature

Serve the Lugana DOC Clay 2020 between 10°C and 13°C to best enhance freshness, sapidity, and aromatic complexity. A long aeration is not necessary, but a brief rest in the glass can help bring out the finer nuances of the bouquet.

Why buy it

It is a bottle to choose when you want an authoritative, elegant Lugana that is more complex than the immediate and everyday interpretation. The selection of grapes, limited production, and connection to the clay soils make it a wine capable of uniting pleasure and character. The Lugana DOC Clay 2020 Cascina Maddalena is perfect for enriching the cellar or for accompanying a carefully curated dinner with a white wine of strong territorial identity.
