Rosa dei Frati DOC

A rosé wine that consistently brings the Garda Lake location to the glass: salmon-colored, lively, with clear fruit and an acidity that whets the appetite instead of being unpleasant.

Cà dei Frati cultivates vineyards around Sirmione and Desenzano – directly on the western shore of Lake Garda. The lake climate moderates temperature fluctuations, extends the ripening period, and preserves the aromatics of the grapes. The blend consists predominantly of Groppello , complemented by Marzemino, Sangiovese, and Barbera – all indigenous grape varieties of the Brescian hills. After brief skin contact, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks, matures on the lees until February, and then spends two months in the bottle.

In the glass, it shines a clear salmon pink. The nose reveals hawthorn, wild strawberry, and a hint of fresh herbs. On the palate, it is juicy and delicately fruity with a mineral undertone and well-integrated acidity that makes the finish crisp but not too long.

Dishes: Grilled prawns, burrata with tomatoes, light pasta al pomodoro or Provençal fish soup
Temperature: 10–12 °C
Occasion: Summer evening on the terrace, uncomplicated aperitivo

Frequently asked questions

What does the Rosa dei Frati taste like?

Juicy and delicately fruity with aromas of wild strawberry and hawthorn, plus a hint of fresh herbs and a mineral base. The acidity is lively but integrated – not a sharp finish, but a crisp, appetizing finish.

Is the Rosa dei Frati dry?

Yes, it is vinified dry. The fruit tastes juicy, but there is no residual sugar left on the palate – the freshness comes from the acidity and the mineral base, not from sweetness.

What does it pair best with?

Grilled gamberi, burrata with tomatoes, or a light pasta al pomodoro are classic companions. It also makes a good impression as an aperitivo with antipasti or with mussels — anywhere a rosé wine should bring freshness instead of heaviness.

At what temperature should I serve it?

Best at 10–12 °C. Too cold, the fruit is muted; too warm, the acidity loses its liveliness. Take it out of the fridge shortly before serving and let it stand for 5–10 minutes.

How was it vinified?

After brief skin contact, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks, matures there on the lees until February, and then spends two months in the bottle. This preserves the aromatics and at the same time gives it a bit more texture than a simple direct-press wine.

How long does it keep after opening?

Sealed in the fridge, it stays fresh for one to two days. After that, the fruit fades and the acidity becomes more prominent — so it is best to drink it in one evening.

Cà dei Frati

Where Lake Garda flattens out to the south, in Lugana di Sirmione lies the winery that has given the town its name: Cà dei Frati – the “House of the Monks”.

The name says it all: The estate was first documented in 1782 , when it served as vineyard land for Carmelite monks . In 1939, the Dal Cero family put down roots here – laying the foundation for one of the most influential winemaking stories in Northern Italy.

It was Pietro Dal Cero who spearheaded the recognition of the Lugana DOC , which was awarded in 1967. His wine "I Frati" became the benchmark – and one of the most famous white wines in Northern Italy.

Today, his three children run the business in the third generation : Gian Franco looks after the vineyards, Igino manages the cellar, Anna Maria is responsible for sales – three perspectives, one common goal.

Its foundation is the Turbiana grape variety, grown on the calcareous moraine soils on the southern shore of Lake Garda. From this grape emerges the unmistakable Lugana style: mineral, clear, and long-lasting – driven by the conviction that tradition and state-of-the-art cellar technology are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary.

What does that mean for your glass? Wines with provenance, precision, and the quiet self-confidence of a family estate that knows exactly where it comes from.
