About the winemaker

"L'Azienda Agricola Citari was founded in 1975 by my grandfather Francesco Getulli. He passed on his love and enthusiasm to us. Our family estate is located on the hill of San Martino, where the famous tower San Martino della Battaglia rises above the vines. This tower is a tribute to the fierce battle fought during the Italian War of Independence in the 19th century. On a clear day, you can even admire it all the way from the famous Lake Garda. Should you visit Lake Garda in the future, you'll know exactly where to find our winery!"

"Kom, we gaan even 'Aliassen', een spel waarbij het kaf van het koren gescheiden wordt. Of beter gezegd: de pulp van het druivensap. Schud de kaarten.Ugni blanc is ook...? Onbekend? Beurt overslaan. Is ter plekke ook wel bekend als turbiana. Die zich vervolgens weer bedient van het alias trebbiano. Ach jeetje, de Italiaanse confectiedruif die zo vaak toch tot saaisap leidt? Jazeker, maar soms, heel soms als ie in handen valt van een goede wijnmaker kan er prachtig, monter, energiek en vooral karakteristiek wit van gemaakt worden. Dan krijg je turbania met de turbo erop. Rijpe appel, ronde kruidigheid, fiks wat peper, grapefruitbitter en amandeltjes worden met naam en toenaam genoemd"

Lugana, Italy

In the Lugana wine region, three factors are important for the quality of the wine: the unique clay soil, the relatively cool climate and the turbiana di lugana grape. The Lugana area lies right on the southern shores of Lake Garda. In winter, it welcomes the warming effects of this large lake and in summer the average temperature of the deep lake actually cools down due to meltwater from the mountains. Lugana is actually in two different provinces, Lombardy and Veneto. Wine regulations do not always coincide. However, many winemakers choose to follow their own rules and characterise their wines. They leave the bureaucracy and hassle to the Consorzio di Lugana (the region's interest group).
