WINERY

The company Ca' dei Frati is known since 1782, according to a document that "tells of a house with cellar in Lugana, called in Sirmione the place of the monastic friars", In 1939 Felice Dal Cero, son of Domenico, who was a winemaker in Montecchia di Crosara in Verona, moved to this house in Lugana di Sirmione and understood from the beginning, the vocation of the area to viticulture. After thirty years of work in the vineyard and cellar, his son Pietro participated in the creation of the DOC and began bottling his first label of Lugana Casa dei Frati, later Ca' dei Frati. In 2012 Pietro Dal Cero passed away, leaving the cultural heritage to his wife Santa Rosa and children Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria, who continued the business with the same passion and determination.
