Zenato San Benedetto Lugana 2025
Introduction
Zenato San Benedetto Lugana originates from Italy, within the Veneto region and the Lugana DOC. The estate was founded in 1960 by Sergio Zenato, a pioneer who recognized the immense potential of the Trebbiano di Lugana grape on the southern shores of Lake Garda. Today, the family legacy is carried forward by his children, Alberto and Nadia, who maintain a winemaking philosophy focused on quality, passion, and a deep respect for the unique morainic soils of the San Benedetto vineyard.
Wine Description
This white wine displays a pale straw yellow colour with greenish reflections and possesses a medium body. The sensory profile is highly appealing, featuring an aromatic nose of peaches, citrus fruits, and white flowers, accented by subtle notes of tropical fruit and herbs. On the palate, it is fresh and well balanced, delivering crisp flavours of green apple and pear supported by a distinct mineral backbone and bright acidity. The finish is clean and persistent with a pleasant almond hint.
Varietal Composition: 100% Trebbiano di Lugana (Turbiana).
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its elegance and complexity, achieved through soft pressing and fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant varietal character.
ABV: 13%.
Organic Status: While the estate emphasizes sustainable viticulture and meticulous vineyard management, this specific bottling is not certified organic.
Food Pairing
The vibrant acidity and mineral drive of San Benedetto Lugana make it an exceptionally versatile partner for light and fresh cuisines.
Seafood: Pairs excellently with freshwater fish from Lake Garda, grilled sea bass, and shellfish.
Light Fare: An ideal accompaniment to summer salads, cold white meats, and delicate vegetable based appetizers.
Cuisines: Matches well with sushi, sashimi, and light pasta dishes served with lemon or herb sauces.
Cheese: Complements fresh, soft cheeses such as mozzarella or mild goat cheese.
