#Lugana #Citari #Conchiglia #ItalianWine
Welcome to another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. This episode is the last stop of our mini-series dedicated to Lugana DOC the winners of 5StarWines and Wine Without Wall selection. Today episode is set in Citari winery in the heart of Lugana DOC at the foot of Lake Garda. Here Stevie meets the wine producers Francesca Fiorentini and Francesco Mascini who will tell her the story of Citari and its line of wines.

On the hill of San Martino della Battaglia, not far from the tower erected to commemorate the historic battle during the Risorgimento, lies the Citari estate, 25 hectares. The official date when it was founded is 1975, but its story began quite sometime earlier. It was in fact the grandfather, Francesco Gettuli, who purchased the estate, in an area that he knew well because he had spent time there as a child with his father, a farmer. Today it is his grandson Francesco who looks after the estate, with the support of his father, and the help of some long-standing colleagues: Simone Rigon and his father Bruno, assisted by Francesca Fiorentini.
