Lugana is a viticultural region that occupies the southern end of Lake Garda, located roughly halfway between Milan and Venice. The white grape variety that is grown here is locally called Turbiana. It is now known to be Verdicchio, identified through genetic testing. Somewhat misleadingly, the grape has also been referred to as Trebbiano di Lugana. What makes this region special is the white clay soil that Turbiana is grown on; soil that was once part of an ancient lakebed. The soil allows for full ripening of the grapes while retaining a distinctive mineral note.

The winery was started by Ambra and Franco Tiraboschi in 1992. They stumbled into production shortly after purchasing the property. Initially unable to find buyers for their grapes, they decided to make a go of it themselves. Though they make several different wines, including red ones, the centerpiece of their production is Lugana. The 2021 Lugana hits all the marks with soft peach, green almond, and juicy tangerine flavors all wrapped up in saline minerality.
