TRINITY HILL Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2023

Ca’ dei Frati’s I Frati Lugana is a vibrant and expressive white wine made from 100% Turbiana, a local grape closely linked to Verdicchio. It opens with bright, refreshing aromas of lemon, citrus zest, green apple, and subtle white flowers. These lifted notes are balanced by gentle herbal hints and a touch of stone fruit, giving the wine both freshness and aromatic depth. On the palate, I Frati is crisp and lively, driven by clean acidity and a dry, mineral‑focused structure. Flavours of lemon, peach, grapefruit, and green apple unfold with clarity, supported by a delicate floral lift. The wine is light‑bodied yet flavourful, offering a precise, refreshing profile that makes it exceptionally drinkable. The finish is long, zesty, and subtly saline, echoing the influence of Lake Garda’s cooling breezes and mineral‑rich soils. This combination of purity, energy, and finesse makes I Frati a versatile companion for seafood, salads, light meats, and aperitif moments. It’s a benchmark Lugana—fresh, elegant, and consistently reliable.
