La Rifra is a 23 hectare vineyard located in the small village of Desenzano, a stone's throw from the south-western corner of Lake Garda. Owned by the Fraccaroli brothers, Claudio and Luigino, who have been making some of the best Lugana wines in the region for more than forty years. Made from the local variety of Trebbiano di Lugana (a close cousin to Verdicchio), and is popular for its freshness and minerality, the signature trademarks in only the very best wines of the region. The vineyard follows organic viticultural methods (albeit uncertified) and are completely in tune with sustainable practices.
