Cà dei Frati Brolettino Lugana

Brolettino is the white wine of the great Venetian grape Turbiana. Fully ripe grapes are harvested in mid-October, and the highly productive land gives us a product with structure and great aging potential. It matures for 10 months in barrique barrels and then for another 3 months in the bottle. All its complexity finds expression in the taste. On the nose, there are notes of ripe fruits, peaches, yellow apples, and rose petals with fresh, balsamic notes. On the palate, it is a flavor explosion while still maintaining its freshness and elegance. The full structure is accompanied by a taut acidity and a characteristic spiciness that completely cleanses the palate and leaves it with delicate aromas. Perfect for winter soups, legumes, and pasta with white sauces, white meat and poultry, medium-sharp cheese, long-aged and fresh fish, or shellfish.

The scent is a fine combination of exotic fruits, vanilla, and other exotic spices. On the palate, it shows a soft, very aromatic appearance that caresses the palate with its creamy texture and lingers for a long time. A clear basic structure ensures the balance, the freshness, and thus the necessary tension. Feel free to let it warm up a little in the glass to discover the full aroma!

The Brolettino from the Cà dei Frati estate reflects the great potential of the old vines and the know-how passed down through generations of the Dal Cero family, who have owned the winery on Via Frati since 1939. The grapes come from the best sites and were only harvested late in mid-October at optimal ripeness.
