Cusumano Nero d'Avola 75cl
AED 71.00
Santa Sofia Lugana DOC 75cl
AED 63.00
Bright, citrusy, and dangerously easy to finish, this Italian Lugana is the kind of wine that makes you want “one more glass” and then somehow the bottle’s gone. Expect clean flavours like lemon zest, green apple, and a little salty-mineral snap that keeps it lively.
It’s from Italy’s Lugana area near Lake Garda, where the local white grape (Turbiana) brings a crisp, dry style with real personality, not bland “white wine” vibes. A super versatile Italian wine to keep on hand when you want something fresh, food-friendly, and just plain delicious!

Description
Fresh, zippy, and ridiculously drinkable, Lugana is the Italian white you grab when you want something crisp but not boring. This one leans into bright citrus, crunchy orchard fruit, and a little mineral edge that keeps every sip feeling clean and moreish.
Lugana comes from northern Italy, right around Lake Garda, and that lakeside climate matters. You get ripe fruit without the heavy, tropical overload, plus a salty, stony kind of freshness that makes the wine feel extra refreshing. So you’re not just drinking “a white,” you’re drinking a place.
Even though your product listing calls it red wine, Lugana DOC is traditionally a white wine style from the Lugana DOC zone. The grape usually behind it is Turbiana (closely linked to Trebbiano di Lugana), which is known for keeping its acidity and adding that subtle almond, herb, and mineral character. Translation: it stays lively in the glass and doesn’t flatten out after a couple of sips.
- Appearance: Pale straw with bright, clean clarity.
- Nose: Lemon zest, green apple, pear, white flowers, and a light stony, lake-breeze minerality.
- Taste: Crisp citrus and orchard fruit up front, dry and refreshing, with a gentle savoury note (think almond and a touch of herb) and mouthwatering acidity that keeps you coming back.
- Body: Light to medium-bodied, easy, clean, and food-friendly.
- Finish: Snappy and mineral, with lingering citrus and a faint nutty note.
This is the kind of wine that fits a lot of plans. Pasta night, a snacky spread, grilled fish, roast chicken, or just something you can pour without overthinking. It’s also a great “conversion bottle” for anyone who says they only like big, loud wines, because the flavour is clear and layered, but the vibe stays refreshing.
If you like whites that taste bright and precise, with a bit of grown-up savoury depth, Lugana is a smart move. It’s not a one-note citrus spritz, it’s got that extra dimension that makes you pause mid-sip and go, “Wait, what is that?” in the best way.
Fun Fact: Lugana DOC sits on clay-rich soils shaped by ancient glaciers around Lake Garda, and that glacial history is a big reason the wines often taste distinctly mineral and subtly savoury.
