TASTING NOTES:
Conceived to be consumed in the vintage, it expresses the best part 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 and balsamic flowers, hints of apricot and almond. Time allows it to evolve, expressing the mineral notes with greater determination. The wine acquires its 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 maturation. With this expression, the famous winery wants to tell its story and its link 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 managed to make known and appreciated to the whole world one of the least famous grapes in Italy, with a strong territorial imprint, the 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 lower Garda area, on calcareous and clayey soils caressed by an ideal microclimate. The cuvée derives from a careful selection of grapes from various parcels which, once fermented in steel, and having carried out 80% malolactic fermentation, will be assembled to give the final wine its characteristic identity; the refinement is 6 months in steel with the presence of fine yeasts. Its journey ends with a further refinement in the bottle for another 6 months.
