Lugana DOC: Wine Excellence between Desenzano and Sirmione
Lugana DOC is the undisputed king of the white wines of the lower Garda area. Originating from the clay soil surrounding Desenzano, Pozzolengo and Sirmione, this wine is known for its elegance, flavour and extraordinary capacity for ageing.
