Tommasi Le Fornaci — Lugana 2023
Lake Garda, Lombardy, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
Made from Turbiana, the signature grape of Lugana, this is a wonderfully approachable expression from vineyards just south of Lake Garda. Soft, fragrant, and effortlessly charming, it favors freshness and delicacy over complexity or weight.
Aromas & Flavors
White peach, pear, citrus, and gentle tropical fruit lead the way, complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle mineral undertone.
Mouthfeel
Light- to medium-bodied, fresh, and softly textured. The acidity is lively without being sharp, while the fruit gives the palate a pleasing roundness and an easy, clean finish.
Food Pairings
Grilled fish, shrimp, light pasta, risotto, fresh salads, mild cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own.
Verdict
An affable, uncomplicated white that knows exactly what it wants to be. Fruity, fresh, delicate, and extremely versatile—one of those bottles equally comfortable at the dinner table, an afternoon gathering, or poured casually without thinking twice.
Did You Know?
Lugana sits along the southern shores of Lake Garda, where clay-rich soils and the lake’s moderating influence provide an excellent environment for Turbiana. The grape is closely related to Verdicchio and is particularly valued for combining freshness, texture, and subtle minerality.
🍷 Personal Pick
This is pure easygoing pleasure. Nothing cerebral or demanding here, just a delightful, softly tropical, gently mineral white that almost anyone can appreciate. Season, occasion, or level of wine experience hardly matters; chill it, pour it, and enjoy.

Crisp white, light lemon color. Moderately aromatic, lemon, grapefruit on the nose. Light body, sky-high acidity, sour citrus and grapefruit carry through on the palate. Delicious #lugana summer white wine.

Very dry with pleasant brightness and minerality. Some citrus flavors and slight hint of floral aroma. Great drink for a warm evening.
