San Benedetto is the Lugana winery of Zenato. The vineyards are considered to be some of the best in the Lugana growing region. Strict selection creates a crystal-clear Lugana with lively freshness and a delicate, creamy finish. An ideal image of a Lugana that is rich in personality and offers a wide spectrum of aromas in the nose and on the palate. One finds notes of pineapple, pear, vanilla and baked apple, it finishes long and perfectly balanced. Beautiful.
