…Samson, the judge called upon by God to overthrow the enemies of Israel, a man with superhuman strength: a vigorous, virile hero whose long hair – a classic female attribute – was the source of his strength. Sansonina, the name given to the impressive 18th-century cascina near Sirmione, derives from Samson. It seemingly belonged to a woman who owned the estate centuries ago and was nicknamed “Little Samson” for her strong character.
Sansonina, the wine that also bears this name, has the dual masculine/feminine character suggested by the estate’s history.
Sansonina comes from the production zone of Lugana, one of most famous white wines produced in Veneto, Lombardy, and by definition a feminine wine. Uniquely in this territory Sansonina possesses an old vineyard planted to Merlot, a variety famous as the base of some of the world’s best reds. In the mid-1990s, Carla Prospero acquired Sansonina with the specific idea of taking on a challenge and overcoming prejudices: her aim was to create a great red in a zone traditionally known for its whites and to show that a woman is more than capable of producing a structured red wine.

| Type | White still |
| Denomination | Lugana DOC |
| Vintage | 2022 |
| Size | 0,75 l |
| Alcohol content | 13.5% by volume |
| Grape varieties | 100% Trebbiano di Soave |
| Country | Italy |
| Region | Veneto |
| Vendor | Sansonina |
| Origin | Peschiera del Garda, locality Sansonina (VR) |
| Soil composition | Lugana Sansonina was born in an area of gentle hills belonging to the Tertiary period (about 15,000 years ago) which, thanks to the proximity of Lake Garda - formed around the same time - enjoys a mild and favourable climate. On this soil, particularly suitable for vine cultivation, given the good presence of clay in the surface layer, supported by a rich calcareous skeleton below, Trebbiano di Lugana has become one of the most successful vineyards in Italy. |
| Cultivation system | Simple Guyot. |
| Yield per hectare | 80 q. |
| Harvest | The grapes are harvested in boxes with the utmost respect for the lotus integrity. The delay in harvesting takes advantage of the excellent acidic resistance of the vine and the strong temperature range of the month of October characterized by morning frost that enhances the passage of aromas from the skin to the juice. |
| Wine making | After manual harvesting of the grapes and qualitative selection, fermentation and refinement take place in steel tanks. |
| Aging | In steel. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
