Ca' Lojera, Lugana, 2024
One of Lugana's most reliable benchmarks. Ca' Lojera sits on the southern shore of Lake Garda, where Ambra and Franco Tiraboschi founded the estate in 1992 — naming it 'House of the Wolf' after a local smugglers' legend. They farm 18 hectares of white clay soils, with Turbiana (the local name for what's essentially a Verdicchio cousin, despite the 'Trebbiano di Lugana' alias) trained to traditional pergola on vines averaging 40 years. Everything is hand-harvested, fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural cut. The result is Lugana the way it should taste — apple and citrus and lake-breeze freshness, with the chalky, almost saline grip that white clay tends to deliver. A go-to for anyone who finds Pinot Grigio too quiet and Vermentino too loud.
