Eufrasia Lugana DOC 2023 – Sgreva Italian White Wine

Overview

Produced by Sgreva, Eufrasia Lugana DOC 2024 is a fresh and elegant Italian white wine from the southern shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy. The style focuses on balance, purity and freshness, making it an excellent choice for UK drinkers who enjoy clean, food-friendly white wines. The 2023 vintage shows clarity and precision, with a bright, approachable character.

Grape Variety

This wine is made from 100% Trebbiano di Lugana, also known as Turbiana. The grape thrives in the clay-rich soils around Lake Garda. As a result, it produces wines with freshness, texture and subtle aromatic depth.

Region & Terroir

The vineyards sit close to Lake Garda, where warm daytime temperatures support ripening. Meanwhile, cooling lake breezes help preserve acidity and freshness. In addition, the mineral-rich soils contribute to the wine’s lightly savoury, almond-edged character. This natural balance defines the Lugana style.

Vinification

Sgreva vinifies Eufrasia with clarity and purity in mind. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures, primarily in stainless steel. Therefore, the wine retains its fresh aromatics and clean profile. The winemaking avoids heavy oak influence, allowing the grape and terroir to take centre stage.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, the wine shows a bright straw-yellow colour with green reflections. On the nose, it offers aromas of white flowers, citrus peel and ripe pear. Subtle herbal notes follow. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and well balanced. Citrus and stone fruit flavours combine with gentle minerality. The finish is clean, lightly savoury and refreshing.

Food Pairing

Thanks to its freshness and moderate alcohol, this Lugana pairs well with a wide range of dishes. It works particularly well with grilled fish, shellfish and seafood pasta. In addition, it complements light risottos, salads and soft cheeses. Many customers also enjoy it as an aperitif.
