Lugana I Frati di Cà dei Frati is born in vineyards located on the southern shore of Lake Garda, in Lombardy, and is the symbolic wine of the company, which has made it known throughout Italy.

It is produced with 100% Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana) grapes, a great native grape variety. The vinification takes place in steel, then the wine is aged in steel on fine lees for a period of about 6 months, followed by a further 2 months in the bottle.

Lugana I Frati is a wine with a beautiful straw yellow colour. Fresh and linear, it has fine and elegant notes of white flowers enriched by balsamic nuances, hints of apricot and pleasant shades of almond; over time it evolves, expressing strong mineral notes and complex aromas of spices and candied fruit. On the palate it is enveloping and particularly savoury, balanced by a lively and exuberant acidity.

Perfect to accompany cold or warm appetisers with delicate flavours, it is perfect in combination with fish-based dishes, both steamed and grilled.
