Le Morette
Located just south of Lake Garda, Le Morette winery produces top quality Lugana DOC white wines. In 2021, Benedictus won Tre Bicchieri – Italy’s most prestigious award. Its wines are produced in various styles: from sharp and refreshing (Mandolara) to oak-aged and age-worthy (Benedictus and Riserva). Le Morette uses cutting-edge machinery to process grapes under vacuum without the influence of oxygen to preserve the grapes’ natural aromas.
Le Morette has been recommended by Ian D’Agata in his encyclopaedia “Native Wine Grapes of Italy“.
