Vinification of Molin Lugana from Cà Maiol The balanced Molin Lugana from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Trebbiano grape variety. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay soils in Lombardy. Molin Lugana is clearly characterized by more than just the Lugana DOC soil. This Italian wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, presenting itself as exceptionally fragrant. The fact that the Trebbiano grapes thrive under the influence of a rather cool climate also has an undeniable influence on the development of the grapes. Among other things, this results in particularly long and uniform grapes and a rather moderate alcohol content in the wine. The grapes for Molin Lugana are harvested exclusively by hand at the time of optimum ripeness, without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
