Ca dei Frati I FRATI Lugana DOC 2023 13% Vol. 0,75l

Since it was founded in 1939 by Domenico Dal Cero, the Ca dei Frati winery has remained a byword for family winemaking. With an annual production of around 400,000 bottles, of which only 30% are destined for export, the winery has secured an exclusive position on the global market.

The Ca dei Frati I FRATI Lugana, an elegant white wine, is characterized by the careful selection of Trebbiano grapes grown on nutrient-rich, calcareous clay soil. After a short maceration period, the wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by six months of maturation on the lees. An additional two months of ageing in the bottle completes the maturation process and contributes to the complexity of the wine.

With an impressive ageing potential of up to four years, I FRATI Lugana is bottled in bottles sealed with a natural cork.
