Argiluna Lugana DOC 2023 | Tenuta la Presa
Elegance and minerality come together in this new Lugana. Argiluna is a fresh, refined wine with character and terroir.
Argiluna is the new Lugana from Tenuta la Presa: a wine where elegance meets minerality. The name refers to the light clay soils where the Turbiana grapes grow and the warmth these soils absorb during the day, releasing it under the moonlight at night. The result is a wine with character, patience, and a strong sense of terroir.
Description
Argiluna is made from 100% Turbiana, the grape that defines Lugana DOC. After a careful hand harvest in September, the grapes are gently pressed. Only the purest juice is used, which ferments at controlled low temperatures to preserve freshness and aromatic elegance. The wine matures for several months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees, adding extra complexity and tension.
