Lombardy is the commercial and industrial heart of Italy. Milan and its speedy life-pace contrasts with the slow pace of the countryside, where tradition and time don’t like to rush.
One of the most traditional areas has its feet in lake Garda while facing the sharp edges of the Alps.
The area of the Lugana wines is an ancient land, a territory divided into two main parts: One stands close to Lake Garda, the other goes up to Pozzolengo, made up of peaks and hills.
The area is characterised by the quality of its wines, which grow o particularly rich soil.
To find out more about Lugana, Bellavita meets Cantina Bulgarini, a winemaker with a long story.
Their wines are named just like the land where the grapes have been grown.
At Bellavita we are always on the quest for regional and traditional high quality products, and this company match our the target -they will participate at the Bellavita Expo Chicago 2016! Come and visit them!
Bellavita – What is your flagship product? What makes it unique?
Cantina Bulgarini – Our flagship product is the Lugana DOC, a fresh, young and fruity wine. It brings together the flavours of almonds and citrus nuances, and traditional tastes of the wines of our region, Lombardy. We produce it in four versions: the basic Lugana, aged in steel. Lugana “010”, slightly aged wooden barrels and with a strong personality. Lugana Superiore “Cà Vaibò”, where grapes are left to dry for over a month and then rest for one year in barrels before being bottled. Finally our diamond “Star of Lugana”, a Lugana spumante brut ‘Metodo Classico’, with fine bubbles and a persistent and fresh tasting.
Bellavita – Is your company based on innovation or on tradition?
Cantina Bulgarini – Our company is modern, innovative and focused on continuous development. Nevertheless, it is firmly rooted in its past and history. We keep renovating our vinery with the newest machinery, taking special care to the lower environmental impact. In order to respect our history we always take into consideration what characterized the cellar during its foundation. Grandfather Bulgarini was driven by passion and enthusiasm, focusing his efforts on the soil and its fruits. He was always in a good mood, smiling cheerfully towards every customer. We are still lead by these values.
Bellavita – You have chosen to participate at the next edition of Bellavita Expo. What do you expect from the event?
Cantina Bulgarini – Bellavita Expo will be an important springboard to raise awareness of our brand in the US. Cantina Bulgarini is confident in the skills of the Bellavita Team to arise the curiosity and attention of buyers towards our company. This is our first event in the States and we hope that the collaboration with Bellavita can be profitable and continue well into the future.
