The Spumante Cuvée dei Frati Brut di Cà dei Frati is a tasty Metodo Classico sparkling wine that the historic Lugana winery produces from Turbiana grapes, with the addition of 10% Chardonnay. The estate vineyards are mainly located in the Lugana area of Sirmione and around the tower of San Martino della Battaglia, on clay-limestone soils. The two grapes that make up the Cuvée dei Frati are vinified in steel (without undergoing malolactic fermentation) and, after the secondary fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the lees for at least 24 months. At disgorgement, the wine further matures for 4 months in the cellar before being released for sale.
