Corte Sermana
Corte Sermana works with Turbiana, the native white grape of Lugana in Lombardia's northern reaches. The winery's two flagship expressions—Lugana Cromalgo and Lugana Riserva Sermana—demonstrate the variety's mineral character and structure. Lugana itself sits on glacial soils that impart distinctive salinity and tension to the wines. Turbiana thrives in this cool continental climate, developing crisp acidity and subtle stone-fruit notes. Wine Enthusiast has rated both bottlings, with Lugana Cromalgo scoring 88 points and Lugana Riserva Sermana at 87 points, positioning the winery within the region's quality conversation. The distinction between the two—one standard release, one riserva—reflects different aging protocols and fruit selection, offering drinkers a direct comparison of how time shapes Lugana's profile.
