Meet the Producer

The Dal Cero family has been crafting wines at Ca’ dei Frati since 1939, developing vineyards along the southern shore of Lake Garda. Franco Dal Cero oversees the vineyards while Igino Dal Cero manages the winery, combining careful viticulture with precise winemaking. Known for their meticulous attention to detail, the family helped establish the Lugana DOC and are now its largest vineyard owners. Sustainability, low yields, and careful vineyard management underpin their consistently high-quality wines. Vineyard The grapes for Rosa dei Frati are sourced from the I Frati vineyard in Sirmione and La Tur in Desenzano. The soils are a mix of chalky clay, sand, and limestone. Vines are single and double Guyot trained, with yields well below the regional average to ensure concentrated fruit and optimal ripeness.

Winemaking

Grapes were hand-picked, carefully selected, destemmed, and lightly pressed after a short skin contact. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by six months on fine lees to build texture, and a further two months in bottle before release.
