Description
Cà dei Frati ‘I Frati’ Lugana Turbiana 2020
It is fresh, linear and furnished with great sophistication and elegance with delicate hints of white balsamic flowers, traces of apricot and almond. Time enables it to evolve, allowing the mineral notes to be expressed with greater determination, thereby acquiring its complexity with traces of iodates, spices and candied fruit. In the mouth, it is capable of enveloping the whole palate thanks to a significant savoury essence, accompanied by strong, exuberant acidity.
The company Ca ‘dei Frati has been known since 1782, as attested by a document that refers to “a house with a cellar located in Lugana in the keep of Sermion called the place of the Friars”. In 1939 Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, already a winemaker in Montecchia di Crosara, in the Verona area, moved to that house, in Lugana di Sirmione, immediately sensing the high wine vocation of the area. After thirty years of work in the vineyard and in the cellar, in 1969, his son Pietro took part in the birth of the Doc, starting to bottle his first Lugana Casa dei Frati label, later called Ca ‘dei Frati. In 2012 Pietro Dal Cero passed away, leaving the cultural legacy to his wife Santa Rosa and his sons Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria who run the company with the same passion and determination.
