What wine is Lugana PDO “Molin” 22 + Lugana Spumante Brut Metodo Classico DOC 'Cantariva' 2019 - Cà Maiol (wooden box)

The Lugana PDO “Molin” 22 + Lugana Spumante Brut Metodo Classico DOC 'Cantariva' 2019 - Cà Maiol box set is a selection that embodies the white soul of Lake Garda, an authentic expression of the Turbiana grape, an indigenous variety from which the best Luganas are made. These wines come from the clayey and mineral soils of the southern part of the lake, which give them freshness, elegance, and that typical savory note that makes every sip balanced and inviting.

The Lugana “Molin” 22 represents a Superiore version, based on aromatic richness and structure, while the Lugana Spumante Brut Metodo Classico DOC 'Cantariva' 2019 embodies Cà Maiol's sparkling wine vocation, with fine bubbles and vibrant freshness that enhances the minerality of the territory.

Vintage details

The 2022 vintage for “Molin” was characterized by a warm but balanced climate, with cool nights that preserved the fragrance and acidity of the grapes. 2019, the base year for “Cantariva,” offered a regular trend with ideal temperatures and slow maturation, perfect for obtaining sparkling wine bases rich in aromas and freshness.

Winemaking and aging

For Lugana PDO “Molin” 22, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel, preserving the most delicate and natural aromas of the grape. This is followed by a brief aging on the lees, which adds complexity and roundness to the final structure.

The Lugana Spumante Brut Metodo Classico DOC 'Cantariva' 2019 is made from Trebbiano di Lugana grapes harvested early to maintain high acidity. After fermentation, the base wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle according to the Metodo Classico and remains on the lees for about 48 months, developing elegant notes of bread and hazelnut that complete the freshness of the fruit.

Tasting notes

The box set combines two souls of the same territory: one still and one sparkling. Both tell the story of the purity and liveliness of Lugana, with style and personality.

Colour

The Lugana “Molin” 22 presents an intense straw yellow, with golden reflections that anticipate its density. The Cantariva 2019 shines in the glass with fine and persistent perlage, enhancing a clear and bright yellow color.

Nose

Floral and fruity aromas intertwine in the “Molin”: white flowers, citrus, apple, and sweet almond. The “Cantariva” instead adds a more evolved complexity, with hints of bread crust, dried fruit, and light mineral notes that attest to the long aging on the lees.

Taste

On the palate, the “Molin” is full but soft, balanced by a lively freshness and a pleasant minerality. The “Cantariva,” thanks to its elegant effervescence, offers a dynamic, dry, and citrusy sensation, with a savory and clean finish that invites a second sip.
