Visit Ca' dei Frati
Our wines are born from careful observation of the land and vine behavior, an activity that has now lasted for four generations of winemakers.
The journey of our wine begins with the awakening of the plant's vegetative cycle: for this reason, every day of the year plays a fundamental role and is an important piece in reaching our goal.
The Ca' dei Frati winery has been known since 1782 as attested by a document that reports "of a house with cellar located in Lugana in the tener of Sermion called the place of the Friars."
In 1939 Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, already a winemaker in Montecchia di Crosara, in the Verona area, moved to that house in Lugana di Sirmione, sensing from the beginning the high wine vocation of the area.
After thirty years of work in the vineyard and cellar, in 1969, his son Pietro participated in the birth of the DOC, starting to bottle his first label of Lugana Casa dei Frati, later called Ca' dei Frati.
In 2012 Pietro Dal Cero passed away, leaving the cultural legacy to his wife Santa Rosa and children Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria, who run the winery with the same passion and determination.
