Gruccione Lugana DOC

The Lugana “Il Gruccione” is a white wine with a fresh, fine and delicate character that comes from Turbiana vines grown in the Sirmione area. It releases notes of citrus fruit, white flowers, hints of fresh almond, flint and savory puffs. On the palate it is characterized by an intriguing dualism between freshness and flavor that makes the sip lean, clean and satisfying.

Named after the species of bird which flies from North Africa each year to feed on bees in Nunzio’s vineyards, this is a willowy, fresh wine. Citrus and green fruit are to the fore before the palate reveals more exotic notes and there is a weighty richness to counter the crisp freshness.
