Ca Maiol Prestige Lugana 2021

The Lugana wine region stretches between the southern shore of Lake Garda and the spectacular Morainic Hills created by the long, slow erosion of glaciers in the late Ice Age. Five picturesque and historical municipalities are included in this area; four of them are part of Lombardy (Desenzano del Garda, Sirmione, Pozzolengo, and Lonato), and one is part of Verona (Peschiera del Garda). The limestone soil, with its stratifications of clay, makes it the ideal terroir for producing Lugana, which takes its name after the region. The climate is mild and gently ventilated with moderate rainfall and good diurnal temperature differences, which create natural, balancing acidity. Ca  Maiol focuses on green practices such as conservative pruning, which encourages the vine to live longer; manual debudding to control the yield and equilibrium of each vine; under-row work to avoid the use of herbicides and pheromone traps to prevent vine disease caused by moths. The grapes for the Prestige cuvee come from the mature Turbiana vines in the vineyard, which are manually harvested.
