The Tommasi Le Fornaci Lugana DOC 2025 12.5% is an elegant Italian white wine from Lake Garda, made from 100% Turbiana grapes. The grapes come from the winery’s own densely planted vineyards, trained using the Guyot system, in the historic Lugana region on the southern shores of Lake Garda. The wine is characterised by varied soil structures: calcareous, layered clay soils lend it body and structure, whilst sandier, silt-rich sections contribute to its aromatic elegance. Following a careful harvest, the wine undergoes slow, temperature-controlled fermentation at 14–18 °C. The wine is then aged on the fine lees for around three months before undergoing further maturation in stainless-steel tanks.

In the 0.75 l bottle, the Tommasi Le Fornaci Lugana DOC 2025 presents itself as a dry, structured yet fresh white wine, in which the typical minerality of the Turbiana grape takes centre stage. Tommasi sees Le Fornaci as a high-quality white wine that provides a counterpoint to the estate’s well-known, age-worthy red wines. The combination of 100% Turbiana, varied soils and ageing on fine lees results in a versatile Lugana DOC from Italy, which is equally impressive as an aperitif or as a sophisticated accompaniment to food.
