Description
In a nutshell:
A fresh, rounded and rich Italian white from Lugana at the base of Lake Garda.
The lowdown:
A really beguiling wine with a combination of racy fruit flavours and fine minerality. This is made with the local grape variety Turbiana and aged for six months on its lees after fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Its concentrated and fresh aromas of white flowers, peaches and lemons lead onto a rich and crisp rounded palate with great depth of flavour and balance.
The admirable Ca' dei Frati estate situated near the southern shores of Lake Garda has been transformed over the last couple of decades by the Dal Cero family. The quality of their wines is attributable directly to Igino Dal Cero's obsession with detail. All their fruit is picked by hand; he ensures there is no skin contact as he wants to retain delicate perfumes and enhance the supple texture. In recent years they've substantially increased their vineyard holdings with some of the best sites in the area and honed their winemaking skills so that they're regarded as just about the best producer in Lugana.
When to drink:
An example of a Lugana not to be taken lightly. Definitely made for food and creamy, fishy pasta and risottos would be top of the list.
