The 2025 combines juicy citrus and white flowers with a full, almost saline taste, beautifully showcasing how much character Turbiana can develop on the clay-rich soils of Lugana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are selected from historic vineyards near San Benedetto di Lugana, just south of Lake Garda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Benedetto di Lugana is located near Peschiera del Garda, in the Venetian part of Lugana DOC.

In subsequent generations, the family house grew internationally, after which from the 2000s, there was a conscious emphasis on quality and smaller productions. Today, Alessandro Fabiano represents the 4th generation, and Lugana, Ripasso, and Amarone are among the most important wines of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eigen Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46772256800847,"sku":"FBARGILUG.750\/25","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/FabianoLuganaArgillaia.webp?v=1789391197","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/products\/fabiano-lugana-argillaia-2025","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
