Probably the most famous Lugana from the southern shore of Lake Garda – i Frati is the flagship of the estate. Made from 100% Turbiana from calcareous moraine soils, it combines regional typicity with fine modern precision. Brilliant straw yellow in the glass with greenish reflections. Fresh citrus fruit, white peaches, pears and a hint of almond blossom on the nose, complemented by delicate herbal notes. Clear and juicy on the palate, with lively, well-integrated acidity, fine flavour and a subtle mineral vein that lends freshness and depth in equal measure. The final is long, elegant and characterised by citrus fruit. A timeless classic that brings the terroir of the Lugana region perfectly into the glass – stylish, stimulating to drink and with assured ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, pale straw yellow with silver-coloured nuances. Intense aromas of nettle and freshly cut grass at the start, followed by notes of pineapple and guava. Polished on the palate, with lots of ripe tropical fruit, mouthwatering acidity, very round." Falstaff

"Fresh and peach-coloured on the nose, with notes of meadow flowers and pure minerals. Medium-bodied with lively acidity that emphasises the character of apricots and macadamia nuts on the palate. Crisp, fruity finish. Delicious." James Suckling
