Ca dei Fraiti Lugana I Frati 2023

The Dal Cero family has transformed their Caí dei Frati property into a model Italian estate over the past two decades. Back in 1987, they had 12 hectares of vineyard but now, following the purchase of a large chunk of prime vineyard in 2008, they have over 100. This
increase in quantity has been matched by an increase in quality, and today they remain the best producers in Lugana.

The secret to the success of the Ca` dei Frati wines is outstanding
vineyards. Most producers in the zone overcrop and train the vines high. At Ca` dei Frati, the vines are trained low, on single or double guyot, newer vineyards have a higher density of planting, and
yields are well below the average for the zone. This wine is made from grapes grown on 10 to 35 year old vines, planted on calcareous and clay soil. Vineyards include I Frati in Sirmione, San Rocco in Pozzolengo, Ronchedone in Desenzano del Garda, La Tur in Desenzano del Garda and Rovizza Alta in Peschiera del Garda. Yields are approximately 63 hectolitres per hectare.
