A selection of Antico Gelso's best wines from Lugana.
In this package you will find the following wines:
- 'Sottosuolo' Bianco Lugana DOC: Sottosuolo is an elegant and expressive white wine made from 100% Turbiana grapes, from Pozzolengo. The clay and silt soil of the vineyard gives this wine a distinct mineral character, which is enhanced by careful vinification in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine matures for three months on fine lie, before further refining in bottle for another three months.
- 'Ballino' Bianco Lugana DOC: Ballino is a refined and complex white wine made from 100% Turbiana grapes, from Pozzolengo. The silty and clay soil gives the wine its characteristic depth and structure. After careful manual harvesting, the wine matures for four months on fine lie in stainless steel tanks, followed by a maturation of at least ten months in bottle.
- 'Thisbe' Vino Rosso: Thisbe is a characterful 100% Merlot, from Pozzolengo, where the combination of silty and sandy soils contributes to the unique expression of this wine. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand and vinified in cement tanks, where the wine matures for four months on the fine lie. It then undergoes a refinement of at least two years in bottle, providing a balanced structure and impressive depth.
- 'Noce' Vino Rosso: Noce is a refined 100% Merlot from Pozzolengo, where the combination of silty and sandy soils creates a wine of deep complexity and elegance. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected before being vinified in cement tanks. After four months of aging on fine lie, the wine is transferred to used oak barriques, where it refines for two years before being bottled.
- 'Sognante' Vino Bianco Frizzante: Sognante is a refined sparkling wine from Pozzolengo, made from carefully selected white grapes harvested by hand and vinified in steel tanks. After an initial aging of three months on fine lie, the wine undergoes a natural re-fermentation in the bottle, creating a delicate and refined mousse.
- 'Anita' Vino Rosato Frizzante: Anita is a sophisticated sparkling rosé wine from Pozzolengo, made from a harmonious blend of Pinot Nero and Groppello. These grapes are hand harvested and carefully selected, then vinified in steel tanks. The wine first ages for three months on the fine lie, after which it undergoes a natural refermentation in the bottle, giving it a refined mousse and extra depth.
Antico Gelso was born from Emanuele and Daniela's shared passion for nature and the craft of winemaking. Emanuele, son of a farmer, grew up loving the land and helping his father on the family farm. After years of experimentation, he and Daniela decided to continue the family tradition and make wine from their own grapes. What started as a dream grew into a wine estate where tradition and sustainability come together.
