Lugana specialist from Lombardia, refined white wines of mineral precision.

Citari produces wines from Lombardia in northern Italy, drawing on the region's cool-climate potential and mineral-rich soils. The winery focuses on Lugana, a white wine of considerable finesse made from local varieties—Trebbiano and Turbiana among them. Lugana Brut, a sparkling expression, demonstrates the aromatic precision and acidity that define the appellation. The still wines, including Vigneto la Conchiglia Lugana and Conchiglia Lugana, show the textural depth and salinity characteristic of the lake-influenced terroir near Lake Garda. Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff have assessed Citari's portfolio, reflecting the critical attention these wines command. The house's commitment centers on the singular expression of Lugana—a wine of elegance and restraint rather than extraction.
