Guess the wine before clicking to reveal: 🍍🍑✨
Brilliant medium-yellow in the glass, with explosive aromas of pineapple, mandarin, lemon, and white peach.
On the palate? Dry, rich yet refreshing, with preserved lemon, medium-plus acidity, and a crunchy, nutty finish.
Getting serious sommelier vibes yet?

Here’s your expert-level clue: This rare white grape was mistaken for Trebbiano… then Verdicchio… until 2021 DNA tests finally said, “Nope! It’s its own thing.” 🧬🍇
Region? Think lake breezes and mineral-rich clay soils.

Spoiler ahead!

This is Ca’ Maiol Prestige from Lugana DOC, made with 100% Turbiana! 🇮🇹
A zesty white with richness, depth, and a salty zip from the shores of Lake Garda.

With the original description of aromatic and the color I was headed towards Gewurtz or Muscat but when you said crunchy I was, Arneis?
Looks like Floricica grape to me 😅
I thought you were describing an Aussie Chardonnay 😅
I was gonna say assyrtiko or colombar but I can’t can’t match such a palate with that colour having it not be Chardonnay

Replied on Insta earlier. Got this only because I have been to Lake Garda and your clue at the end jogged my memory!
Didn’t guess, but I was at a tasting there this summer
We tasted in Lugana this spring. The color and tropical notes made me think Trebniano bianco. Haven’t heard of this one before! Thanks!
I guess that's Fiano di Avellina
I've only had a handful of Luganas. Thanks for the reminder!
