Cellar Box – Ca’ dei Frati Lugana I Frati 2025 – 6 Bottles

Description

The Ca’ dei Frati Lugana I Frati 2025 Cellar Box contains 6 bottles of one of the most representative wines of the Lugana DOC appellation.

Produced in Lugana di Sirmione, on the southern shores of Lake Garda, I Frati is the flagship wine of the historic Ca’ dei Frati winery. It is made exclusively from Turbiana grapes, a native variety of the area also known as Trebbiano di Lugana.

The grapes come from local vineyards characterised by limestone and clay soils. After careful selection, the wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged for 6 months on fine lees, followed by a further 2 months in bottle.

When young, it stands out for its freshness, precision and elegance, with delicate notes of white flowers, apricot, almond and balsamic nuances. With bottle aging, it develops greater complexity, revealing mineral, iodine, spicy and candied fruit notes.

The 6-bottle box is the ideal choice for keeping a great classic from Lake Garda always at hand, perfect for lunches, dinners, convivial occasions or for enriching your personal wine cellar.
