Description
What kind of wine it is
Prestige Lugana Ca Maiol is a still white wine from Lombardy with a strong personality, made entirely from Trebbiano di Lugana grapes. On the nose, it stands out for its fragrant aromatic profile dominated by notes of green apple, lime and wild thyme, which develop into hints of oats and white pepper. On the palate, it is soft and balanced, supported by a vibrant acidity that leads to a mineral and savoury finish. This dynamism makes it ideal for enhancing raw seafood and sushi, and it also pairs elegantly with delicate first courses.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow in the heart of Lugana, south of Lake Garda. In this area, the mild lakeside microclimate ensures even ripening of the Trebbiano di Lugana bunches, preserving their freshness. The vines sink their roots into calcareous-clay soils, a fundamental geological composition that gives the wine its typical structure and unmistakable savoury character. Ca Maiol selects the fruit from its own vineyards to deliver a clear and faithful expression of the terroir in the glass.
How it is produced
The vinification of Prestige Lugana is designed to enhance the purity of the grape variety. After careful selection in the vineyard, the bunches undergo a gentle pressing to extract only the finest part of the must. Fermentation in stainless steel preserves the fruit's fragrance, ensuring an authentic interpretation of the varietal characteristics. The process concludes with a targeted maturation in the bottle that continues until spring, a crucial phase for harmonising the components and offering a dynamic sip, enriched with citrus nuances and a persistent spicy finish.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1967 to the south of Lake Garda, the Ca Maiol winery produces this wine as a pure expression of the region. The grapes from the Maiolo estate grow on calcareous and clay soils, where the mild climate imparts a vibrant freshness to the Trebbiano di Lugana. This elegance is preserved through gentle pressing, fermentation in steel, and a delicate bottle ageing that concludes in spring. The result is the Prestige Lugana DOC 2024, an outstanding wine with a dry style and a mineral finish that beautifully pays tribute to the identity of the Lombard denomination.
