Turina wines from Lugana on the shores of Lake Garda
More Exclusive wines added to Liquid Indulgence's portfolio
“Italian wine has been a passion for me and over the years we have taken customers on vineyard tours to Italy to enjoy the country and its wines.
One of our latest winery discoveries is the Turina family who own superb vineyards in the Lugana region, south of Lake Garda.
Moniga del Garda is where you’ll find a grape variety called Marzemino, a very unusual wine which I recommend you try. Presented in an eye-catching bottle it has an impressive spicy full-bodied taste, bursting with superb red fruits and light notes of herbs. It was in fact Mozart’s favourite wine.
The Lugana ‘DOC’ wine arises from the ld wine variety, Trebianno di Lugana, grown on lead clay soils, mostly calcareous and rich in mineral salts. Only these soils give this wine its feature of freshness and sapidity. The taste is dry and exceptionally delicate with strong varietal aromas of almond and white peach.
Turina del Garda Chiaretto Rosé. A very delicate dry blush rosé with a pleasant bouquet and again flavours of almond come to mind. Enjoy”.

About the Turina Vineyard
The Turina winery is a family farm devoted to the cultivation of wine and olive-trees over many generations. At present it is managed by three brothers: Paolo, Luigi and Dario.
It was grandfather Luigi who ventured into the first wine-making, confident that the ‘Groppello’, native of Valtenesi, would produce fine wines.
Almost a hundred years later, it is still the ‘Groppello’ that keeps the passion for wine-growing alive among the Turina brothers. Annually they produce about 150,000 bottles of great DOC Garda Classico wines from the 18 hectares of vineyard in Valtènesi.
The modern wine-making cellar and bottling plant is the result of a series of investments started by father Gaudenzio in 1974. The winery overlooks the road that connects Desenzano with Salò.
About the featured Turina wines
Moniga Del Garda IGT Marzemino
A fabulous and spicy full-bodied red. ‘Mozart’s’ favourite wine is made from 100% Marzemino grapes, late ripening, dark skinned, black coloured and one of the most exclusive grapes used in the production of red wine. Only 10 days contact with the skins during maceration. The palate shows ripe red fruits with light notes of herbs. The taste is intense, sapid, spicy and full bodied. This is a very unusual wine that you must try.
Food recommendations: Pairs very well with rich pasta dishes and well-aged cheeses.
Turina del Garda Chiaretto Rosé
Delicate in every aspect: from the pink colour with violet reflections, to the pleasant bouquet up to the soft, decisive, savoury almost salty flavour with notes that bring almond to mind. A rosé wine that when served in the appropriate tulip goblet will amaze the connoisseur.
Food Recommendations: Pairs very well with fish, seafood and white meats. It is also an excellent accompaniment with ripe cheeses.
Trebiano di Lugana
A really classy wine made from 100% Trebbiano grapes. Grown in layered clay soils, mostly calcareous, rich in mineral salts.
