• Region: Lombardia
  • Typology: Brut Metodo Classico
  • Grapes: Turbiana and Chardonnay
  • Aging: minimum 24 months on the lees, followed by 4 months in the bottle after disgorgement.
  • Organoleptic characteristics: Fine and continuous perlage, golden yellow color with green reflections is how it appears in the glass. The nose is fragrant, with notes of biscuits and hazelnut, hay and seasoned tobacco. The silky and creamy carbonic makes room for acidity that stimulates salivation by returning the biscuit and hazelnut notes.
  • Pairings: Ideal for an aperitif but also for the whole meal, it is capable of showing all the versatility of a classic method. Excellent on freshwater fish, throughout the meal, on poultry, cold white meats and summer salads. Successfully marries a level Parmesan.

The Ca’ dei Frati company has been renowned since 1782, as confirmed by a document that refers to “a house with a cellar located in Lugana in the Sermion district known as the place of the Friars”. In 1939, Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, formerly a wine grower in Montecchia di Crosara near Verona, moved to that very house in Lugana di Sirmione, immediately realising the area’s potential for vine cultivation. After thirty years working in the vineyard and the cellar, his son Pietro took part in the creation of the DOC in 1969, bottling his first wine with the label Lugana Casa dei Frati, later named Ca’ dei Frati.
The grapes of every vineyard are vinified separately in order to gain a clearer vision of the expressions of our “terroir”. The processes take place with the utmost respect for the raw material through an innovative technique refined over the years that enables us to obtain full-bodied wines with great longevity. The bond and the continuous collaboration with our friend Gino Veronelli has helped us to create and plan our wines over time.
