TreCampane Lugana DOC 2024

Wine Description for TreCampane Lugana DOC 2024 by Marangona

Colour & Appearance

A deeper straw gold than the base Lugana, with luminous reflections – a testament to the extended maturation and the concentration of older vines.

Nose

Chamomile and marzipan meet yellow apple, hazelnut and lemon zest. Beneath these, wet stone and pressed spring flowers. Decanter critic Vincenzo Arnese noted of the 2019: „Marzipan and almond skin over lemon zest, apple and pear.“ The pattern holds across vintages.

Palate

Taut, saline and focused. White peach, pear and a whisper of fennel on a foundation of bitter almond and vibrant acidity. The body is denser than the base Lugana, the texture creamier, without losing its tension. On the finish, mineral, iodine-tinged and long – a wine that demands food.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Turbiana from vines aged 35–40 years. The distinctive feature: two harvest times – an early pick in mid-September for acidity and freshness, a late harvest in mid-October for richness and complexity. Fermentation in stainless steel, followed by ten to twelve months on lees in unglazed concrete. A further six months in bottle. Certified organic.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A food wine. Risotto ai frutti di mare, sea trout in sage butter, Vitello tonnato or aged goat’s cheese. The structure carries more robust preparations too: pike in anchovy sauce, a Lombard classic. Serve at 10–12°C.

Special Notes

Named after the three bells of the Torre dei Lamberti in Verona, among which the Marangona is counted. 94 points Decanter (2019), 93 points Wine Enthusiast (2020). Drinking window: ten years and beyond. Only 500–600 cases per vintage.
