'I Frati' Lugana DOC Cà dei Frati 2022

The white wine Lugana DOC I Frati from the Ca' dei Frati winery, a great interpreter of the winemaking history of the Lombard shore of Lake Garda, is the result of a blend of Turbiana grapes, the same ones that are locally called Trebbiano di Lugana. Known as the white wine of the southern area of Garda, Lugana is a truly fascinating product that improves its particular characteristics with ageing. In its youth it presents itself as a linear wine with great elegance, while with the passage of time it evolves, acquiring an important and enveloping complexity. Once harvested, the grapes, the fruit of an autochthonous vine, are vinified in steel, then followed, for a minimum period of 6 months, by aging in steel on the fine lees; after which the wine is bottled. However, before being placed on the market the Lugana DOC I Frati must still rest for a period of 2 months. The result is a versatile but particularly enveloping white wine. When tasted, it is rather sapid and fresh.
