Cuvée dei Frati is the surprising Brut Metodo Classico by Cà dei Frati, which has nothing to envy of the best Italian sparkling wines. The perlage of this wine is fine and delicate, as well as its golden color with green reflections, on the nose it's fragrant with notes of hazelnut and seasoned tobacco. Ideal not only for the aperitif but also for a dinner of river fish, poultry and white meat.
Ca ‘dei Frati is a winery known since 1782 in Lugana, a town in the municipality of Sirmione on Lake Garda in the province of Brescia, called “the place of the Friars”. This story is joined by that of Felice del Cero and his family of winemakers, who moved there in 1939. His son Pietro in 1969 bottles the first Lugana DOC Casa dei Frati, later called Cà dei Frati. Now we are in the fourth generation, custodian of a knowledge that is faithful to the land, that separately processes the hubs of each vineyard to best express the “terroir”.
The Brut Classic Method Cuvée dei Frati comes from the assembly of the native Turbiana vine and a smaller dose of Chardonnay, to obtain a greater balance in the final result. After a break on the lees for at least 24 months, this Cà dei Frati sparkling wine expresses its best, with a silky carbonic that frees the right acidity and conquers the palate with the toasted and hazelnut notes.
