Lugana Benedictus DOC
This wine is produced exclusively by the selection of the Turbiana grapes, chosen from those exposed the most to sunlight. After the harvesting these grapes remain in contact with the must for one day at low temperature, to get particularly fruity and aromatic sensations. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature to obtain a slow fermentation, to get a high quality wine. Lugana Benedictus has a pale straw-yellow colour, with gold reflections. Its flavour is fresh with intense exotic fruity sensations and hints of spice, due to the oak fermentation and ageing in small oak barrels.

Local pairings
The tench is well suited to the preparation of sauces. In fact, for the preparation of this tasty and characteristic risotto, one starts by stir-frying a little tomato sauce, a pinch of cinnamon and tench meat.
Next, the rice is added and cooked with broth until it becomes soft. The creaminess of the dish and the delicate yet very present spiciness are balanced by the minerality and intensity of the Lugana Benedictus.
International pairings
Originally made in Sapporo, Ramen is a simple but extremely tasty dish. It is a hot soup with noodles, vegetables and various toppings. There are dozens and dozens of variations of the recipe, from meat to fish, spices to vegetables, and in Japan each region has its own typical variation. The strong flavour of the broth and the complexity of the ingredients and flavours make it perfect with a full-bodied white wine such as Lugana DOC Benedictus.
