Rosa dei Frati DOC 0.375L

Rosa dei Frati is a fresh and at the same time delicate rosé wine with floral-fruity aromas on the nose. On the palate, the Rosa dei Frati shows itself to be a very fresh, juicy wine, with a delicate fruit and a pleasing, beautifully integrated acidity. In the finish, the rosé is crisp and not too long.

The vines whose grapes result in this fine rosé are located in the immediate vicinity of Lake Garda, in the area around the towns of Sirmione and Desenzano.

The mild lake climate allows the grapes to be harvested late, predominantly Groppello, a little Marzemino, Sangiovese, and Barbera. After brief contact of the skins with the must, fermentation takes place in steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine lies on the lees until February, followed by two months of bottle aging.

In the glass, a brilliant salmon pink and a delicate and refreshing scent of hawthorn and forest fruits unfold. The taste is fine-fruity, mineral, with well-integrated, refreshing acidity.

The Winery

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.
