Affordably priced, they are delicious all-year round and can form the basis of a thirst-quenching apéritif and pairing for a wide assortment of meals. Beyond maturation, each of the six Lugana wines had a slightly different taste profile depending on the vineyard soil. Vineyards are planted on calcareous and silt-rich clay soil.

A Wine Story

My dad and uncle Fili worked in the vineyards on weekends, and I helped out as a kid. During the event, I met many other producers or their export managers, and was pleased to see the quality of wine from these regions. And no doubt, some remain buried deep in the earth, perhaps near the Tenuta di Artimino vineyards itself.

An American nod to the elemental luxuries of the Japanese ryokan, or inn, its 11-course kaiseki-style dinners are crafted from meticulously tended ingredients grown on its nearby five-acre farm, where photogenic rows of micro-seasonal produce managed by Katina are bordered by the banks of the Russian River.
