Detailed Description

The ruby colour captivates with its tone and intensity. The fruit is exuberant with a very pleasurable sour cherry taste, merged with hints of chocolate and sweet spices. The subtlety enhances the floral component of the purple rose. Balsamic notes emerge with increasing conviction, along with hints of star anise and wild gooseberry. The tertiary elements are subtle and leave the perception of pleasurable notes of arabica and mild tobacco. It finds its utmost expression at the table with seasoned cheeses, well-cooked meats, braised dishes and game.

Producer Information

Cà dei Frati is an Italian wine producer situated on the southern shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy. It makes a range of Lombardy’s most widely recognized wines styles, like those from Lugana-Lombardy, Riviera del Garda Classico and Benaco Bresciano, but it also produces a single Amarone della Valpolicella wine.The estate can trace its history back to 1782 to a wine cellar situated in the commune of Sirmione in Lugana. By 1939, the house and its cellar had been acquired by Felice Dal Cero, who began developing the winery and its vineyards over the next 30 years. Cà dei Frati’s first bottle of wine was released under the Lugana Casa dei Frati label in 1969.The Lugana wine range includes two still white wines made from Turbiana (more commonly known as Verdicchio). In addition to its Amarone della Valpolicella, the estate also produces a red Benaco Bresciano IGT wine from Marzemino, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Cà dei Frati’ rosé is produced from Groppello, Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera. The estate is also known for its sparkling wines that comprise rosé and white Brut Spumante wines produced using the Metodo Classico process.
