Lugana San Benedetto

Pale lemon-green in color, San Benedetto Lugana offers delicately appealing notes of peach, citrus, banana and herbs, which are beautifully accompanied by a crisp acidity and supple body on the palate.

Food Pairing

This wine matches a wide choice of food pairings with ease, making it a perfect by-the-glass choice.
