Allegrini's Lugana from Pozzolengo on the southern shore of Lake Garda, Turbiana with a little Cortese. White peach and lemon meet a saline, mineral edge and racy acidity. Steel-aged and unoaked, it suits shellfish, seafood risotto and sushi.

Turbiana off the Oasi Mantellina vineyard at Pozzolengo, aged only in steel. Expect white peach, lemon and white flowers over a saline, mineral finish that Wine Enthusiast singles out too.
Ripe white peach and pear lead, lifted by lemon and a wash of white flowers, the fresh floral note Allegrini itself picks out in the Oasi Mantellina fruit. A faint almond sits underneath, the classic Turbiana signature. Peach and citrus set the tone.

AlmondRound and quite rich on entry, then pulled taut by marked acidity, 5.65 grams per litre in the 2025. The morainic clays and gravels at Pozzolengo give a salty, mineral cut rather than weight. Lemon and white-peach fruit carry a dry, sapid mid-palate.
Salty and citrus-fresh, with that almond note returning on a brisk, stony close. The 2023 is stony and salty, and Wine Enthusiast rated it 90 points.
A freshness-first Lugana that drinks well young and over its first three years: fresh and round, with racy acidity, and a well-liked white. At £17 to £19 the wine is a fair buy for an unoaked, food-friendly white.
Specialist Italian-wine merchants list the 2024 and 2025 at about £17 to £19. Stock shifts by vintage, so the live prices below show who currently has it.

Scored for food versatility, value and everyday drinking. A racy, saline Turbiana at £17 to £19 leans food-friendly and everyday rather than special-occasion or cellar.
Racy acidity and a saline finish make it a natural with shellfish, seafood risotto and fried fish; aromatic, high-acid whites of this style score high for food versatility.
An easy, fruit-forward, unoaked white from an indigenous Lake Garda grape; low tannin and gentle aromatics make it beginner-friendly.
Sub-£20, low-commitment and food-flexible; a strong midweek seafood white rather than a cellar bottle.
At £17 to £19 it sits around the Lugana norm, but a single-vineyard, 90-point wine from a benchmark producer makes it fair value.
A characterful but unshowy Lugana; better for a relaxed seafood lunch than a marquee special-occasion pour.
Steel-aged and unoaked with no ageing requirement; built for freshness, so cellaring upside is limited to two or three years.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Lugana denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
A fresh, acid-driven Lugana made for early drinking. The 2025 sits at 12.73% with 5.65 g/l total acidity and pH 3.27; the 2024 is a touch riper at 13%.
Cooler and lighter at 12.73%, with 5.65 g/l total acidity and pH 3.27 giving a taut, saline profile. Drink over its first three years while the acidity is racy.
A ripe but firmly acidic vintage for the Oasi Mantellina, bottled at 13%. Fresh white-fruit and citrus character, built for drinking young within about three years of harvest.
Cooler and lighter at 12.73%, with 5.65 g/l total acidity and pH 3.27 giving a taut, saline profile. Drink over its first three years while the acidity is racy.

Better known for Amarone in Valpolicella, the Allegrini family makes this Lugana from Guyot-trained Turbiana on the morainic clays of the Oasi Mantellina estate, a recent venture on the southern shore of Lake Garda.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Lugana is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Lugana falls within Lombardy, covering A band of glacial clay south of Lake Garda across Sirmione, Desenzano, Lonato and Pozzolengo in Brescia province, plus Peschiera del Garda in Verona.

Made at Allegrini, Fumane di Valpolicella. Directions
Wine route in the zone: Strada dei Vini del Garda.
Estate fruit from the Oasi Mantellina vineyard on Lake Garda's morainic clays, hand-picked in September, costs more than bulk Lugana grown on the plain.
A benchmark Valpolicella house pricing a new single-estate Lugana carries a brand premium over co-op Lugana sold at £10 to £12.
Four months in stainless steel plus two in bottle avoids barrel cost, which helps keep it near £17 rather than the £25-plus of oak-aged whites.
Only specialist Italian-wine merchants stock it in the UK, so thin distribution adds margin versus supermarket-scale wines.
At 2026 rates UK still-wine duty is £2.67 a bottle, so duty plus VAT is about £5.70 of an £18 retail price.
The wine is released and sold young with no long cellar-holding, so there is little tied-up-capital cost baked into the price.
Dishes that go with this wine
The wine's racy acidity and saline, mineral finish make it a shellfish and seafood-risotto white. Shellfish, pasta and fish are where it belongs.
Briny, low-fat shellfish want high acidity and a saline streak rather than weight. Oasi Mantellina's racy Turbiana acidity and mineral, sapid finish mirror the sea-salt of oysters and shrimp, refreshing each bite.
Try with: Oysters · Potted Shrimp · Scottish Smoked Salmon · Mussels · More pairings →
Creamy risotto needs a white with body to stand up and acidity to cut the starch. This Lugana has the round mid-palate for it, while its Lake Garda acidity keeps a squid-ink or saffron risotto from turning heavy. A local Lombardy match.
Try with: Squid ink risotto · Risotto alla Milanese · Porcini mushroom risotto · More pairings →
Batter and frying oil call for acidity to scrub the palate clean. The wine's 5.65 g/l acidity and citrus lift slice through tempura and fish and chips the way a squeeze of lemon does, with no oak to clash.
Try with: Fish and Chips · Prawn Tempura · Tempura · More pairings →
Delicate raw and steamed fish are easily overwhelmed. Oasi Mantellina's gentle white-peach and citrus aromatics and saline finish echo the sea rather than mask it, and its unoaked freshness keeps nigiri and sashimi clean.
Try with: Nigiri Sushi · Sashimi · Steamed sea bass · More pairings →
Salt-and-pepper seafood layers salt and fried texture. The wine's own saline, mineral edge meets the seasoning while its acidity resets the palate between mouthfuls of squid and prawns.
Try with: Salt and pepper squid · Salt and pepper prawns · Steamed sea bass · More pairings →
Skip serious chilli heat and rich red meat. A light, high-acid white has no tannin or sweetness to tame capsaicin, so vindaloo or a chilli-heavy stir-fry flattens its fruit and sharpens the burn. Save it for seafood instead.
Skip with: Vindaloo · Chilli beef · Sweet and sour pork · Pairing guide →
This is a freshness-first Lugana, not a cellar wine. Steel-aged and unoaked, it is at its best within about three years of the vintage, though its firm acidity buys a little patience.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Pour it straight from the bottle.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Steel-aged and unoaked with no ageing requirement; built for freshness, so cellaring upside is limited to two or three years.
£16.13 for a 75cl bottle of the 2025, at Decantalo, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

No. It ages about four months in stainless steel and two months in bottle, so it stays fresh and unoaked, with white fruit, citrus and a saline, mineral finish.
Its racy acidity and saline edge suit shellfish, seafood risotto, fried fish and delicate sushi. Shellfish, pasta and fish are its most natural partners.
It is built for freshness. Drink the 2024 and 2025 within about three years of the vintage, though its firm acidity lets it hold a little longer.
Ripe white peach and pear, lemon and white flowers, with an almond note and a mineral, saline finish. The palate is round but driven by marked acidity. Wine Enthusiast rated the 2023 vintage 90 points.
It usually sells in the UK at about £17 to £19 a bottle. Stock moves between vintages, with the 2024 and 2025 both currently listed by specialist Italian-wine retailers.
