Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, dry
Ca' dei Frati's I Frati is the benchmark Lugana: Turbiana grown on the clay soils south of Lake Garda, giving fresh citrus and orchard fruit with the appellation's signature almond note on the finish. Bright and food-friendly when young, it gains texture and a nutty, honeyed edge with a few years in bottle.
Serving: Serve at 9–11 °C.
