Lugana Wine Tours: Zenato

Zenato winery is located in San Benedetto di Lugana, near Peschiera, on the gentle hills surrounding the Southern part of lake Garda. Looking at the beautiful vineyards surrounding Zenato winery, in the background you can see the mountains north of the Lake: Mt Napoleon and Mt Baldo. Zenato produces Lugana using the typical trebbiano di Lugana wine variety, grown in the traditional d.o.c. area. This wine has a green-straw yellow color, with elegant and appealing smell, a crisp, fruity taste that is also supple and rounded at the same time.
For those who loves a more structured taste, Zenato produces also Lugana Riserva, also made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana but fermented initially in barriques then matured in small oak for few months.
