'Brolettino' Lugana DOC Cà dei Frati 2021

The white wine Lugana Brolettino from the Sirmione Ca' dei Frati cellar is an excellent representative of the winemaking tradition of Lombardy. It is no coincidence that this wine is one of the most representative products of the Ca' dei Frati farm, the first to make Lugana known outside the Lombard borders. Brolettino is a white wine that has an important aging capacity. Produced with 100% Turbiano grapes, this wine, from the moment it is placed on the market, can be left to rest in the cellar for 2 or 3 years. Lugana Brolettino is the fruit of grapes harvested only and exclusively when they have reached full maturity; a vinification follows which takes place partly in steel and partly in barriques; after which the wine ages for 10 months in barriques, after which it is bottled. However, before being marketed the Brolettino follows a further maturation in the bottle lasting 3 months. The result is a white wine with an interesting sapidity, fresh and elegant, which is characterized by its structure, its softness and its particular persistence.
