Buy or order Ca dei Frati wine
What could be more Italian than Lake Garda, the easternmost large lake in Northern Italy? Lake Garda is a magnet for thousands of primarily Dutch tourists who discover its charm year after year. It is also a major player in Italian wine production. To the east of the lake, for example, lies the vast Veneto wine region, home to the prominent Valpolicella region. However, on the south side of the lake, near the border between Veneto and Lombardy, lies the picturesque old town of Sirmione. This was where Felice Dal Cero moved in 1939, settling into "the house with a wine cellar," nicknamed Ca dei Frati. In 1939, Sirmione wasn't yet important to Italian wine production. However, thanks to Felice's son, Pietro Dal Cero, this changed in 1969.
The best Italian wines are from Ca dei Frati
His son, Pietro del Cero, helped obtain a DOC classification for none other than the Lugana. Today, Ca dei Frati I Frati Lugana remains an iconic wine in this part of Italy. This wine's great success is also due to the unique climate, thanks in part to Lake Garda, which provides a mild climate. It's no wonder, then, that the star of the Ca dei Frati vineyards is the Trebbiano grape.
