Lugana Fabio Contato is named after the eldest son of Cà Maiol’s founder, Walter Contato. It was conceived to be the winery’s very finest quality wine. Grapes are harvested by hand from some of the oldest vines in the estate’s different vineyards and thus in quite limited yields. Vinification and ageing take place in, generally, new, French oak barriques and tonneaux and partially in steel. Barrel-ageing takes over a year, followed by at least 6 months further maturation in bottle. This limited production wine is the culmination of many years of experience and seeks to showcase what Lugana is capable of: wines that have great structure, intensity of flavour and ageing potential.
