The winery’s home, Lugana, a tiny region in Northern Italy, enjoys a temperate microclimate due to its proximity to Lake Garda. The calcerous clay soils, rich in minerals akin to Chablis, bring out the unique character of Turbiana wines, which beautifully reflect both the winemaker’s skill and the land’s essence. 
 
Alessandro Cutolo, the humble owner and winemaker of Cantina Marangona, produces premium organic white wines from the indigenous Turbiana grape. This rare variety, 
misunderstood as Trebbiano until recently, finds its true identity through Alessandro’s craft.

This wine is what Alessandro refers to as ‘the soul of his estate’- Marangona’s Organic Lugana is 100% ‘Turbiana,’ or Trebbiano di Lugana, grown using a ‘double arc’ cordon from vines planted between 1980 and 2000 in clay/silt soils. The grapes are picked by hand and pressed as whole clusters, followed by fermentation at cool temperatures. Once fermentation is complete the wine is aged on its fine lees for 4 months before being bottled early in the following year.
