Lugana "PRESTIGE" DOC Cà Maiol

The Lugana DOC Prestige of the agricultural company Cà Maiol is a prestigious and refined wine and it is the reference wine for its production territory.

The wine don’t need any settling time and it is bottled until the next spring. The annual production is about 250.000 bottles which are distributed in national and international prestigious wine shops. This wine is produced with 100% Trebbiano di Lugana grapes.
