Its distinctive character comes from the harmony between ripe fruit, honeyed sweetness and the refreshing acidity of Turbiana. The wine also reflects the long history of the Cà dei Frati estate, which was documented as early as 1782 and played an important role in the creation of the Lugana DOC in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a luminous golden colour, hinting at its ripe fruit character and time spent maturing on the fine lees. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of dried fruit, honey and ripe orchard fruit, with a warm, generously textured impression.\n\nOn the palate, Tre Filer is full-bodied and flavourful, balancing its natural sweetness with the vibrant acidity associated with Turbiana. The result is a harmonious wine that feels rich without becoming heavy, with a persistent, honeyed finish. It is enjoyable now, but its balance and concentration allow it to develop further in bottle over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyards benefit from the mild climate around Lake Garda, where the lake acts as a natural temperature regulator. The area's breezes, including the Pelèr wind, help create useful day-to-night temperature variation, preserving freshness while allowing the grapes to develop ripe, concentrated flavours. The wine is matured for 12–14 months on its fine lees in stainless-steel tanks, followed by a further year of bottle ageing before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTre Filer is a natural match for blue cheeses, where its sweetness and acidity complement the cheese's salty, intense character. It also works beautifully with cakes, pastries and small cream-based desserts, as well as dried-fruit desserts. Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. Decanting is not normally necessary, although opening the bottle shortly before serving can allow its aromas to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCà dei Frati traces its roots to a historic property in Lugana di Sirmione, documented in 1782 as a house with a wine cellar known as the “place of the brothers.” In 1939, Felice Dal Cero moved to the estate and became convinced of the area's potential, while his son Pietro later contributed decades of work in the vineyards and cellar that helped establish the Lugana DOC in 1969. The family bottled its first Lugana wine under the Casa dei Frati name, and the estate has since become one of the most recognised producers associated with the Lake Garda wine region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ca dei Frati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462751441233,"sku":"VDZ-10570073932112-53331309461840","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/frati090.png?v=1785498464","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/ca-dei-frati-benaco-bresciano-tre-filer-2020-white","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
