Avanzi

Lugana specialist crafting mineral-driven Turbiana whites from Lombardy.

Avanzi is a winery in Lombardia, in northern Italy's Lugana region. The house focuses on Turbiana, the white grape native to the shores of Lake Garda. Sirmione Lugana, the flagship expression, demonstrates the variety's mineral precision and structure. The Borghetta line—both the standard and Riserva bottlings—extends the portfolio with additional depth and complexity. Wines from Avanzi have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. Turbiana-based whites from cool continental climates tend toward crisp acidity and stone-fruit character, with the capacity to age gracefully. Avanzi's releases reflect the terroir of Lugana, where limestone soils and the moderating influence of the lake shape the character of the wine.
