Why shop with us?
Ca’ dei Frati Lugana Brolettino Magnum 2024 is a refined expression of Turbiana from the heart of Lombardy’s Lugana zone, presented here in an impressive magnum format that is ideal for gatherings and cellaring. Known for combining freshness, structure and a touch of richness, Brolettino is one of the estate’s most recognisable wines and a benchmark for the region’s modern white wine style.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright straw-yellow color with gleaming golden reflections, hinting at both vibrancy and depth. The nose is expressive and layered, with ripe citrus, white peach, pear and delicate floral notes, followed by subtle mineral, herbal and lightly toasted nuances as the wine opens.
On the palate, Brolettino is fuller and more rounded than a classic young Lugana, offering juicy stone fruit, lemon zest and a creamy texture balanced by fresh acidity and a savory mineral finish. The magnum format should support graceful development over time, and this wine has the potential to age well, gaining complexity and honeyed, nutty notes with a few years in bottle.
Production
The grapes come from the Lugana area in southern Lombardy, near Lake Garda, where clay-rich soils and the moderating influence of the lake help Turbiana ripen slowly while preserving freshness. Harvesting is typically done with great care to select healthy, perfectly ripe fruit, and vinification focuses on preserving aromatic purity while building texture and depth, often through controlled fermentation and time on the lees.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted or grilled fish, shellfish, risotto with seafood, creamy pasta dishes and poultry with delicate sauces. Serve it well chilled, around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting only if serving very young; otherwise, opening the bottle ahead of time is usually enough to let the wine show its full aromatic range.
Producer
Ca’ dei Frati is one of the most respected producers in Lugana and has played a major role in establishing the region’s reputation for high-quality white wine. With a long family history and a strong focus on Turbiana, the estate is known for crafting wines that balance precision, elegance and aging potential, with Brolettino standing out as one of its signature bottlings.
