Selva Capuzza San Vigilio Lugana

The San Vigilio Lugana is made from the local Italian Turbiana grape. It's a classic Lugana wine and is vinified with great care. The grapes are grown at an average altitude of 60 meters above Lake Garda. This allows for a constant breeze, providing just the right amount of cooling in warm Italy. The result is a fruity wine with a beautiful balance and crisp acidity.

Manual harvest for Selva Capuzza San Vigilio Lugana

The Selva Capuzza family winery produces wines in three different DOC appellations: Lugana, San Martino della Battaglia, and Garda Classico. This makes them the only winery in the area. They work exclusively with indigenous grape varieties. Therefore, you won't find Merlot or Chardonnay here. The winery is located in the municipality of San Martino, about four kilometers from Lake Garda, and was founded in 1908. Today, the fourth generation of the family, Luca Formentini, is at the helm. They own approximately 30 hectares of vineyards and operate according to ecological guidelines. The local Turbiana grape takes center stage in this white wine. The grapes are grown on the beautiful hills south of Lake Garda. At peak ripeness, they are hand-picked and taken directly to the winery. Here, the grapes are gently pressed, followed by alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures. The wine is refined during the winter months by contact with the fine lees in stainless steel tanks. The wine is bottled in March and April, and after two months of bottle aging, it is released to the market.
