Marangona Lugana DOC 2025

Wine Description for Marangona Lugana DOC 2025 by Marangona

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, brilliant and youthful in the glass.

Nose

White flowers and lemon zest open the bouquet, followed by green apple, fresh herbs and a subtle almond note. With air, a hint of apricot emerges – not a loud perfume, rather a spring meadow by the lakeside.

Palate

Lively and straightforward. Silky acidity carries aromas of green melon, white peach and bitter almond through a medium-bodied frame. In the finish, a saline minerality reminiscent of wet limestone that immediately calls for the next sip. Pure Turbiana, without artifice.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Turbiana from vines averaging 25 years old on calcareous clay. Hand-harvested in twelve-kilo crates, whole-bunch pressing, fermentation at 14°C in stainless steel. Three to four months on the lees, no malolactic fermentation, no oak. Alessandro Cutolo lets the lake speak. Certified organic.

Food Pairing Suggestions

The classic choice for Lake Garda fish: whitefish, pan-fried trout, fritto misto. Equally suited to risotto al limone, spaghetti alle vongole or a slice of focaccia with olive oil on the terrace. Serving temperature 10–12°C.

Special Features

Wine Enthusiast awarded the 2022 vintage an impressive 94 points – an entry-level wine that regularly punches above its price point. Screw cap. One of only eight organic wineries among 116 Lugana producers.
