Lugana Superiore DOP 'Madonna della Scoperta' 2022 (750 ml.) Perla del Garda
Lugana Superiore DOP 'Madonna della Scoperta' by Perla del Garda is a structured and elegant white wine, the result of a careful selection of pure Turbiana grown on the morainic hills south of Lake Garda. The grapes come from historic vineyards near the sanctuary of Madonna della Scoperta, an area particularly suited for clay-limestone soils. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing, controlled temperature fermentation, and aging for 18 months, part in steel and part in oak tonneaux, to enhance structure and complexity. This is followed by further aging in bottle. In the glass, it reveals a golden yellow color, with aromas of ripe fruit, candied citrus, sweet spices, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is rich, savory, with good persistence and an elegant finish. Ideal with flavorful fish dishes, white meats, or aged cheeses.

Perla del Garda
Among the gentle morainic hills of Lake Garda, one of the most fascinating winemaking realities of Lombardy comes to life: Perla del Garda. This winery, entirely family-run, represents the authentic soul of the territory of Lonato del Garda, where tradition blends with innovation and respect for the land becomes a production philosophy.
Perla del Garda is synonymous with high-quality wine, produced exclusively with estate-grown grapes and vinified vertically by gravity, a rarity in the Italian landscape. The result? Clean, elegant, structured wines, capable of conveying the uniqueness of the Garda terroir in every sip.
The highlight is the Lugana DOC, vinified with hand-selected Turbiana grapes. Freshness, minerality, and longevity make it one of the noblest expressions of the denomination. But the range is rich and surprising: from the refined Metodo Classico to the sumptuous Rinascimento Rosso, to experiments in amphora and the cru from a single vineyard.
On Vino45 you can discover the entire Perla del Garda selection, with fast shipping and dedicated customer service. A true enological pearl to bring to the table. Address:
Via Fenil Vecchio, 9, 25017 Lonato del Garda (BS), Italy
Color: bright golden yellow, with intense reflections, indicative of a good evolution in the bottle and careful aging. The visual density suggests structure and maturity.
Bouquet: rich and layered aromatic profile: it opens with notes of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit – peach, apricot, and melon – followed by hints of candied citrus and touches of aromatic herbs. Then, scents of wilted flowers, acacia honey, and almond emerge, with slight mineral and spicy nuances that testify to the wine's evolution over time.
Taste: full and enveloping, supported by a well-balanced freshness and marked salinity, typical of the clay-limestone soils of the area. The structure is significant, with a long tasting persistence that is consistent with the olfactory sensations: fruity returns and an elegant almond note at the finish. The passage in wood (if present, even partial) contributes to softness and depth without overshadowing the varietal identity of Turbiana.
