Sergio Zenato started his production of Lugana wines more than 60 years ago in Peschiera del Garda at the southern tip of Lake Garda. When he took over the Costalunga estate, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica to the east of the lake in the 90’ies, Sergio Zenato wanted to measure himself in a new venture: to make it a model vineyard, beautiful to look at, cared for in every detail, in which to apply modern agronomic techniques and at the same time resume the traditional methods that had defined the Valpolicella landscape. Today the 35 hectares of vineyards are planted with the renowned Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta grape varieties.
In the harvest, the grapes are manually picked and carefully selected - the healthiest ripest fruit is placed in cases in a well-ventilated room to dry for 3-4 months. After this period the grapes are pressed, left on the skins for 15-20 days at controlled temperature and slowly fermented. The wine is aged at least four years in large oak casks before refinement in the bottle for at least one year.
