Description

Ah, the Tommasi Le Fornaci Lugana—a wine that whispers tales of sun-drenched vineyards on the shores of Lake Garda. Crafted by the esteemed Tommasi family, this Lugana embodies the essence of the Turbiana grape, a local treasure that thrives in the unique microclimate of the region. Tommasi Viticoltori, a family-owned winery with a rich history dating back to 1903, is renowned for its dedication to quality and terroir expression. Located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica region near Verona, Tommasi has expanded its vineyards to include other prestigious areas in Italy, including Lugana. With a deep understanding of the land and a commitment to sustainable practices, Tommasi produces wines that are both authentic and captivating. This wine hails from the Lugana DOC, a small but mighty appellation nestled between Lombardy and Veneto. The unique soil composition, rich in clay and minerals, combined with the moderating influence of the lake, creates the perfect conditions for growing the Turbiana grape. The result? A wine with a distinctive character—crisp, aromatic, and utterly refreshing. Imagine yourself on a warm summer evening, the sun setting over the lake, a gentle breeze rustling through the vineyards. In your hand, a glass of Le Fornaci Lugana. The pale straw-yellow color hints at the wine's vibrant personality. As you bring the glass to your nose, you're greeted by a bouquet of delicate floral notes—think white blossoms and hints of almond—intertwined with the zesty aroma of citrus fruits. On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with a refreshing acidity that awakens your senses. Flavors of ripe peach, Meyer lemon, and a subtle saline minerality dance on your tongue, leaving a lingering finish that is both satisfying and invigorating. The Tommasi Le Fornaci Lugana is an incredibly versatile wine, making it a perfect companion to a wide range of dishes. Its crisp acidity and subtle fruit flavors make it an ideal match for seafood, especially grilled fish, shrimp scampi, or oysters on the half shell. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, creamy pasta dishes, and delicate poultry. Consider serving it alongside a classic risotto Milanese, a grilled chicken Caesar salad, or a plate of fresh burrata with heirloom tomatoes. But don't limit yourself to Italian cuisine! This Lugana also complements Asian-inspired dishes like sushi, Pad Thai, or Vietnamese spring rolls. The wine's refreshing acidity cuts through the richness of the food, while its subtle fruit flavors enhance the overall experience. So, why should you choose this wine? Because it's more than just a bottle of wine—it's an invitation to experience the beauty and flavors of Lugana, crafted with passion and expertise by a family that has been making wine for over a century. It's a wine that will transport you to the shores of Lake Garda with every sip, leaving you feeling refreshed, invigorated, and utterly satisfied. Serve chilled, ideally between 8-10°C, and let it breathe for a few minutes to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Whether you're enjoying it on its own as an aperitif or pairing it with a delicious meal, the Tommasi Le Fornaci Lugana is sure to impress.
