TASTING NOTES:
Designed to be consumed in the VINTAGE, it expresses the best of itself many years after bottling. In its youth it is fresh, linear and endowed with great finesse and elegance with delicate notes of white flowers and balsamic, hints of apricot and almond. Time allows it to evolve, expressing mineral notes with greater determination. The wine acquires its own complexity with hints of iodine, spices and candied fruit. In the mouth it is capable of enveloping the whole palate thanks to an important savory essence accompanied by lively and exuberant acidity.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
A wine with two faces: it is appreciated from a young age for its freshness and simplicity, but it also expresses its best years after bottling in which it reaches a perfect degree of maturity. With this expression the famous winery wants to tell its story and its connection with local varieties. Thus "I Frati" is the most representative image of the Lake, it is the pride of the house because Ca' dei Frati has succeeded in making known and appreciated to the whole world one of the less famous grapes in Italy, with a strong territorial imprint, Turbiana, also known as Trebbiano di Lugana.
Lugana Ca' dei Frati derives from the terroir and the vines, which reach up to 40 years of age, planted in the area of lower Garda, on limestone and clay soils caressed by an ideal microclimate. The cuvée comes from a careful selection of grapes from various plots, which, once fermented in steel, and having carried out 80% malolactic fermentation, will be blended to give the final wine its characteristic identity; aging is 6 months in steel with the presence of fine yeasts. Its journey ends with further aging in bottle for another 6 months.
