Meet the producer
The Dal Cero family has been producing wine at Ca’ dei Frati since 1939, cultivating vineyards on the southern shore of Lake Garda. Franco Dal Cero manages the vineyards while Igino Dal Cero oversees winemaking. Together, they combine meticulous vineyard work with careful winemaking techniques, including gentle pressing, lees ageing, and inhibited malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness and enhance texture. The family played a key role in establishing the Lugana DOC and are now its largest vineyard owners.
Vineyard
Grapes are sourced from low-trained single and double Guyot vines aged 12–37 years, planted on glacial alluvial soils that moderate vigour and preserve acidity. The proximity to Lake Garda ensures cool nights and temperate summers, allowing the Turbiana grapes to develop concentrated flavour while retaining freshness.
Winemaking
Hand-picked and carefully selected grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic press. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit character. The wine is then matured on its lees in 500-litre stainless steel tanks for six months before a further two months of bottle ageing.
Tasting notes
Aromatic and fresh, with honeysuckle, apricot, and subtle spice notes. The palate is vibrant and balanced, finishing with a crisp, saline lift.
Food match
Pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, poultry, risotto, or light summer dishes.
