Descrizione

The Cuvèe dei Frati Metodo Classico Brut from the Cà dei Frati winery offers a refined gem in the landscape of Italian sparkling wines. This wine is produced following the traditional method, also known as the méthode champenoise, in which the second fermentation takes place directly inside the bottle, giving the wine exceptional elegance and complexity.

Visually, this brut presents a bright straw yellow color, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage that immediately invites tasting. On the nose, it reveals a harmonious bouquet of sensations: notes of green apple, citrus, floral hints, and subtle aromas of toasted bread and dried fruit, resulting from careful bottle aging for at least 24 months.

On the palate, the Cuvèe dei Frati is fresh and well-balanced. The initial taste is lively, thanks to a well-integrated acidity that harmonizes with fruity flavors and yeast nuances. The creamy texture and long, clean finish complete the tasting experience, leaving the palate satisfied and ready for the next sip.

This sparkling wine is perfect as an aperitif, but its versatility also makes it ideal for pairing with a wide variety of dishes, from fish to lightly spiced ethnic cuisine. The Cuvèe dei Frati Metodo Classico Brut from Cà dei Frati represents an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality Italian sparkling wine that offers charm and pleasure in every sip.

Winery history

The estate is documented as far back as 1782, and its present course took shape when Felice Dal Cero moved to Lugana di Sirmione in 1939. The Dal Cero family progressively bottled and promoted Lugana; in 1969 Pietro Dal Cero took part in the establishment of the appellation by bottling its first label. Today the estate is managed by succeeding generations of the family, who carry on production and activities tied to the local area.

Production philosophy

Careful work in the vineyard and cellar, with separate vinifications for each vineyard to capture the different expressions of the terroir. The estate declares respect for the raw material, up-to-date techniques and carefully planned ageing to produce wines with integrity and longevity.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate's main vineyards are concentrated in the Lugana di Sirmione area and around the tower of San Martino della Battaglia on Lake Garda; in the early 2000s the estate also acquired approximately 11 hectares in Valpolicella, where the Amarone 'Pietro Dal Cero' is produced.
