In the last two decades, the Dal Cero family have transformed Ca’ dei Frati, on the southern shores of Lake Garda, into a thriving estate.The farm’s well-drained soil was deposited on the southern shore of Lake Garda by the same glacier that carved out Italy’s largest lake. This alluvial soil moderates the vines’ vigour, while the proximity to the lake mitigates hot summer temperatures, making it an ideal area for making one of Italy’s most attractive white wines.
The quality of Ca’ dei Frati’s wines derives from the meticulous work carried out by the Dal Cero brothers in the vineyard and in the winery. All the estate’s Lugana fruit is handpicked and directly pressed, without skin contact, to retain delicate perfumes and enhance the supple texture of the whites.
Made from 100% Tubiana, this 2024 vintage was excellent, characterised by contrasting weather patterns that ultimately favoured quality wine production.
Tasting note: Pale yellow in colour, with a concentrated and fresh perfume of honeysuckle, apricot, spice and candied fruits. The palate has excellent depth and balance, with a crisp, saline finish.
