The Lugana DOC Oasi Mantellina is a white wine with a great tipicity. The great

sapidity and freshness encounter the aromatic complexity of this wine with jasmine,

white peach and bergamot aromas. The sip is fresh, long with a return of citrus and ripe

fruit sensation in the aftertaste.

The 2024 harvest highlighted the importance of strategic agronomic choices,

particularly cultivating vineyards in hillside areas, which proved crucial for ensuring

grape quality and health. After a mild winter and a rainy spring with below-average

temperatures, summer brought a sudden heatwave, requiring careful water

management to prevent vine stress. September saw milder temperatures and significant

day-night temperature variations, enhancing aromatic complexity. The use of climate

monitoring technologies optimized treatments and improved sustainability. Harvesting

began in mid-September, with balanced ripening and high-quality, healthy grapes.

The Lugana DOC Oasi Mantellina is a wine with great sapidity and complexity.

It finds its perfect pairing with sushi and sashimi, but also with Mediterranean dishes such

as pasta with clams or vegetable and spice couscous. It is perfect paired with sea fish,

such as salt-crusted sea bass or sea bream with Mediterranean herbs.
