I could see the vineyards of Lugana from where I am writing this - if it wasn't for the trees in between. The vinyards are located on the southern edge of Lake Garda around the small lakeside town of Lugana straddling the border between Breschia and Lombardy regions
Lugana is famous for its white wines made from a blend of local varieties but primarly from an indigenous clone of Trebbiano, however I cannot recall having tasted any before this one
