Ca dei Frati

The company Ca 'dei Frati has been known since 1782, as attested by a document that refers to "a house with a cellar located in Lugana in the keep of Sermion called the place of the Friars". In 1939 Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, already a winemaker in Montecchia di Crosara, in the Verona area, moved to that house, in Lugana di Sirmione, immediately sensing the high wine vocation of the area. After thirty years of work in the vineyard and in the cellar, in 1969, his son Pietro took part in the birth of the Doc, starting to bottle his first Lugana Casa dei Frati label, later called Ca 'dei Frati. In 2012 Pietro Dal Cero passed away, leaving the cultural legacy to his wife Santa Rosa and his sons Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria who run the company with the same passion and determination. The grapes of each vineyard are vinified separately in order to have a clearer view of the expressions of our "terroir". The processing takes place with the utmost respect for the raw material through an innovative technique refined over the years that allows us to obtain intact and long-lived wines. The bond and the continuous comparison with our friend Gino Veronelli helped us to conceive our wines projected over time.
