Lugana Allegrini 2024
A refined and mineral-driven Lugana with vibrant citrus, orchard fruit, and elegant structure. Fresh, poised, and beautifully balanced.
Made from 100% Turbiana (also known as Trebbiano di Lugana), grown in the Lugana DOC appellation near Lake Garda, in northern Italy. Known for its freshness and mineral-driven profile, this wine offers both immediacy and aging potential - a hallmark of high-quality Lugana.
Produced by Allegrini, a prestigious winery best known for their wines from Valpolicella (like Amarone), this Lugana showcases the estate’s expansion into white wines with the same focus on terroir and precision.
Pale straw in color, the wine offers fresh, floral aromas of white blossoms, citrus zest, green apple, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is dry, crisp, and mineral-driven, with a smooth, medium body and a refreshing finish. Brief aging on the lees adds a gentle roundness to its vibrant acidity.
Combining finesse with freshness, Allegrini Lugana is perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, white meats, and vegetable-based dishes. It’s a modern expression of a classic northern Italian white - pure, elegant, and refreshingly versatile.

2024Lugana Allegrini comes from the Lugana DOC zone on the southern shores of Lake Garda in northern Italy. This unique area, spanning parts of Veneto and Lombardy, is characterised by clay-rich soils of glacial origin and the moderating influence of the lake. These conditions allow for slow, even ripening while preserving natural freshness and aromatic precision.
The wine is made from Turbiana (also historically known as Trebbiano di Lugana), the indigenous grape of the region. Turbiana is valued for its structure, vibrant acidity, and capacity to produce wines with both immediate freshness and ageing potential. In Lugana’s mineral soils, the grape develops citrus clarity, subtle stone fruit notes, and a distinctive saline edge.
Produced by Allegrini, one of Veneto’s most respected family estates with deep roots in Valpolicella, this Lugana reflects the winery’s commitment to precision and terroir expression. Careful vineyard management and temperature-controlled fermentation preserve aromatic purity, while time on fine lees enhances texture and balance.
A dry white wine with no noticeable sweetness, offering a clean, crisp, and refreshing profile. It sits in the medium-bodied range - meaning it has more texture and weight than a very light Pinot Grigio, but it remains fresh and easy to drink rather than rich or heavy.
