Description
It is our pride and joy, the wine that has made the company's image known and continues to do so. It has a direct link with its variety, the Turbiana, our indigenous grape variety. Designed to be consumed in the vintage, it expresses the best of itself many years after bottling. In its youth, it is fresh, linear and endowed with great finesse and elegance with delicate notes of white flowers and balsamic, apricot and almond scents. Time allows it to evolve, expressing its mineral notes with greater determination.

It was in 1939 when Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, already a winemaker in Montecchia Crosara in Verona, moved in that house, Lugana of Sirmione, sensing immediately the wine-growing area.
After 30 years of work in the vineyard and winery in 1969, his son Peter participated in the creation of Doc started to bottle its first Lugana Casa dei Frati label.
Today, with his wife Santa Rosa cultural heritage has been passed on to children Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria who run the company with the same passion and determination.
Mutual respect, the union of the family, defined roles and the link to their territory on the shores of Lake Garda, represent the true strength of the Dal Cero family
