Zenato Lugana Brut
Wine Description
This vineyard is located between Peschiera and Desenzano, the southern area of Garda Lake. The must for this wine is obtained with a light pressing and is fermented with the natural yeasts of the grape itself in stainless steel tanks. The bottles stand in racks for 18 months and the wine evolves and matures. The bottles are then placed on the pupitres, clarified by riddling, remuage, and then the deposit is removed by dégorgement.
