Brolettino Lugana – Privilegio di Famiglia

Lugana Doc

The Brolettino Privilegio di Famiglia represents a further expression of our wine over time, with an aging of 5 years in the bottle. Fully ripe grapes are harvested around mid-October and the highly productive land gives us a product with structure and a great capacity of ageing. All its complexity is tangible to the taste. To the nose, there are hints of ripe fruit, peaches, yellow apples with fresh, balsamic notes. The palate is enveloped by an invasion of flavour, maintaining all its freshness and elegance. The full structure is accompanied by high taut acidity and a characteristic savouriness that completely cleans the palate, leaving it full of delicate aromas. Perfect for winter soups, legumes and pasta with white sauces, white meat, medium aged cheese, fish that is cooked long and well, and shellfish. Serve at a temperature of 10°- 12° C.

The Cellar

The Ca’ dei Frati company has been renowned since 1782, as confirmed by a document that refers to “a house with a cellar located in Lugana in the Sermion district known as the place of the Friars”.

In 1939, Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, formerly a wine grower in Montecchia di Crosara near Verona, moved to that very house in Lugana di Sirmione, immediately realising the area’s potential for vine cultivation.

After thirty years working in the vineyard and the cellar, his son Pietro took part in the creation of the DOC in 1969, bottling his first wine with the label Lugana Casa dei Frati, later named Ca’ dei Frati.

In 2012, Pietro Dal Cero passed away, leaving the cultural legacy to his wife Santa Rosa and children Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria, who run the company with the same passion and determination.
