2019 Ca’ dei Frati `Brolettino` Lugana

For years, wine from the Lugana region was a secret shared among the thousands of tourists who flock annually to the delightful villages that surround Lake Garda, in northern Italy. But thanks to a continuous rise in quality, Lugana’s fame has finally spread beyond Italy.  Elegant, structured and delicious white wines made from Turbiana, a unique native grape grown on the southern shores of Lake Garda, they are some of the country’s premier white bottlings.  The Ca’ dei Frati estate, situated on the southern shores of Lake Garda, owned by the Dal Cero family have increased the quantity of the wines over the last three decades and today they are known as the best producer in Lugana.

Brolettino is a multi-award winning wine made from 100% Turbiana.  Pale gold in colour, this wine opens with aromas of stone fruits, rose and a touch of vanilla spice. The palate has rich peach and apple characters, with a creamy, honeyed texture. It is intense and concentrated through to the fresh finish.
