Description
Brolettino Ca' dei Frati is a white wine produced in the Lake Garda area, a region renowned for its mild climate and morainic soils that favor vine cultivation. The Ca' dei Frati winery is located in Sirmione, in an area that benefits from the influence of the lake, which moderates temperatures and creates ideal conditions for grape ripening. The vineyards are situated on mineral-rich soils, which give the wine a particular complexity and structure. The grapes used for Brolettino are mainly of the Turbiana variety, an indigenous grape that expresses itself best in this territory, giving the wine freshness and distinctive aromatic notes. The production process of Brolettino involves manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the delicate aromas of the grape variety. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to enhance the fruity and floral aromas. Subsequently, the wine matures for about 10 months in oak barrels, a step that enriches the wine's aromatic profile and gives it greater complexity and aging potential. Bottle aging completes the process, allowing Brolettino to further develop its distinctive characteristics of elegance and persistence. Pairings: Brolettino Ca' Dei Frati is an elegant and structured white wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. It can excellently accompany a seafood risotto, thanks to its ability to enhance the delicate flavors of fish. It is also an excellent choice for chicken-based dishes, perhaps lemon chicken or herb chicken, where the wine's freshness and complexity balance the succulence of the meat. For cheese lovers, Brolettino pairs well with soft and semi-aged cheeses, such as taleggio or brie, as its structure can support the creaminess and intensity of these cheeses. If opting for a vegetarian dish, a vegetable lasagna or a leek and cheese quiche are tasty options that benefit from the accompaniment of this wine. Finally, for fish lovers, a baked sea bass fillet or a sea bream in a salt crust can be excellent companions, as the wine enhances the delicacy and refined flavors of these dishes.
