Ca dei Frati, I Frati Lugana Lombardy 2021

90 points Wine Enthusiast
"Aromas of exotic fruit, white spring flower, citrus and a whiff of tomato vine lift out of the glass. Vibrant and linear, the savory palate doles out juicy grapefruit, spiced apricot and a hint of pineapple alongside crisp acidity."

90 points Vinous
"Pale straw yellow. Lively aromas of yellow apple, pear, apricot and soft herbs, lifted by a floral element. Clean, nicely delineated and piercing but boasts a round texture in spite of its noteworthy acidity. Finishes long, with subtle grapefruit, sage and pear flavors persist on the perfumed, gentle aftertaste."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Turbiana from the Lombardy region. The varietal expresses the best of itself many years after bottling. When young, it is fresh, linear and furnished with great sophistication and elegance with delicate hints of white balsamic flowers, traces of apricot and almond. Time enables it to evolve, allowing the mineral notes to be expressed with greater determination, thereby acquiring its complexity with traces of iodates, spices and candied fruit. In the mouth, it is capable of enveloping the whole palate thanks to a significant savory essence, accompanied by strong, exuberant acidity. When young, a serving temperature of around 10 degrees is preferable, with cold or warm - but delicate - starters and to accompany fish dishes, boiled, steamed or grilled.
