The Cà dei Frati Cuvée dei Frati Dosaggio Zero Metodo Classico 13 % vol. 0.75 l is a premium Italian sparkling wine from the renowned Lugana DOC region on the southern shore of Lake Garda, produced using the classic bottle-fermentation method (Metodo Classico) with zero dosage – that is, without any additional sugar being added after disgorging. This traditional method lends the wine a particularly pure, lively freshness and a fine effervescence, whilst extended ageing ‘sur lie’ adds complexity and depth.

The cuvée is based on 90 per cent Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana), the region’s indigenous white grape variety, complemented by 10 per cent Chardonnay. Following the second fermentation in the bottle, the sparkling wine matures on the lees for at least 24 months, which lends it creaminess, a fine texture and aromatic depth. The ‘Dosaggio Zero’ method emphasises the natural freshness and purity of the grapes, with no sweetening after the ageing on the lees.
