LUGANA 2018 - CÀ DEI FRATI

Cà dei Frati is a historic winery in Lugana of Italy. Since 1782 there was a house where it was known for its cellar. In 1939 passed into the hands of Felice dal Gero, who was a winegrower and almost immediately realized what possibilities his land had. After 30 years of hard work in the vineyard, his son Pietro bottled the first wine with the name of the area, Lugana - Cà dei Frati. In 2012 the estate passed into the hands of his wife and son who continued with the same love the family tradition.
The emblematic Lugana of the estate continues its brilliant course until today under the label I Frati Lugana. The variety is rare and special, so we bet you have not heard it again. Turbiana is a clone of Trebbiano and has similar aromatic profile. With the 6-month stay with its fine lees, it gets more complex and the oiliness balances with its high acidity.

It has pale lemon color.

Nose of moderate aromatic intensity with aromas of juicy fruits such as peach, lime, bitter orange and grapefruit. Hints of white flowers complement the aromatic bouquet.

On the palate it has medium body and crisp acidity. Kumquat, bitter orange, ripe peach, pear and sweet lemon create a delicious and balanced whole. Lemony aftertaste that lasts.
