If Verona (Italy) is renowned as the setting for one of the world's most famous romances, that of Romeo and Juliet, the celebrated tale by William Shakespeare, it is hardly surprising that its surroundings also give rise to wines that captivate. Amidst gentle hills and the breeze of Lago di Garda, emerges Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina, a white wine that blends freshness with character, poised to win over palates and hearts alike.
The Allegrini family has been the soul of Valpolicella (Veneto, Italy) since the 16th century, perpetuating the culture of the vine with passion, intelligence, and a touch of boldness that has transformed Italian viticulture. Today, Francesco, Giovanni, Matteo, and Silvia keep this legacy alive, blending innovation with respect for tradition to craft wines that reflect their love for their land.
Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina hails from vineyards situated 100 metres above sea level, with a southwest orientation and clay soils that enhance the expression of the white variety turbiana (trebbiano di soave), enriched with a touch of cortese. The harvest is conducted by hand, the fermentation in stainless steel tanks is delicate, and the wine rests on fine lees for four months before bottling, with an additional two months in the bottle, achieving an impeccable balance between freshness, ripe fruit, and a liveliness that invites one to enjoy it young or let it gracefully evolve.
In the glass, it presents as savoury and fresh, with a structure that surprises with its immediacy and longevity. Perfect for accompanying fatty fish, seafood, pasta with light sauces, or even fresh cheeses, Allegrini Lugana Oasi Mantellina turns any meal into a memorable occasion, reminding us that, as in every great love story, each sip deserves to be savoured with calm and delight.
