Cà dei Frati Brolettino Lugana

Brolettino is a white wine made from the great Venetian grape variety Turbiana. Fully ripe grapes are harvested in mid-October, and the highly productive land yields a wine with structure and great aging potential. It matures for 10 months in barriques and then for another 3 months in the bottle. All its complexity is expressed in the taste. The nose reveals notes of ripe fruit, peaches, yellow apples, and rose petals with fresh, balsamic notes. On the palate, it is an explosion of flavor, yet retains its freshness and elegance. The full structure is accompanied by a firm acidity and a characteristic spiciness that completely cleanses the palate, leaving it with delicate aromas. Perfect with winter soups, legumes and pasta with white sauces, white meat and poultry, medium-sharp cheeses, and fresh, long-cooked fish or shellfish. The aroma is a fine combination of exotic fruits, vanilla, and other exotic spices. On the palate, it presents a soft, highly aromatic profile, its creamy texture caressing the palate and leaving a long finish. A clear structure ensures balance, freshness, and thus the necessary vibrancy. Warm it slightly in the glass to fully appreciate its aroma! The Brolettino from Cà dei Frati reflects the great potential of the old vines and the expertise passed down through generations by the Dal Cero family, who have owned the winery on Via Frati since 1939. The grapes come from the best vineyards and were harvested at optimal ripeness in mid-October. Wine industry: White Wine of the Year Italy 2022, 2nd place.
