As a young wine, it tickles the nose with fragrant floral aromas of white flowers and fruity hints of apple, plum and citrus framed in a mineral whiff. As time progresses, it is enriched with iodine hints, tertiary notes, spices and candied fruit. The palate is fresh, direct and fine, accompanied by a pleasant savoury note. Only evolution will bring out more mineral and balsamic sensations, highlighting a good structure and full, pleasant body. A malleable wine, but with great passion. To be spent on grilled lake fish with vegetable side dishes, on lightly seasoned fish soups or pizza margherita.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ca' dei Frati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48168469430551,"sku":"23V00423","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/1860\/5335\/files\/lugana-i-frati-ca-dei-frati-202320251203135726.png?v=1764766841"},{"product_id":"mille-una-notte-donnafugata-2020","title":"Mille e una Notte Donnafugata 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eDonnafugata's Mille e una Notte is a \u003cstrong\u003epersuasive and fascinating expression\u003c\/strong\u003e of one of the most important wineries in Italy.

The idea is to enhance the native Sicilian grape par excellence, namely Nero d'Avola, and to combine it with international varieties such as Petit Verdot and Syrah that can enrich the wine with spicy and elegant nuances. Production follows traditional processes ranging from low yields per hectare to manual harvesting, which then involves careful selection of the best bunches.

Established at the beginning of the 20th century, it has handed down from generation to generation the best traditions of the area and produces excellent wines from vines historically present on the island.

A wine that well expresses the warm and sensual character of the great reds from Puglia, born from a sunny Mediterranean climate, with generous and ripe grapes. The name of the grape variety indicates its early ripening, and DNA investigations have revealed that its origins are Dalmatian. It is, in fact, a variety known on the other side of the Adriatic by the ancient name of Tribidrag, identical to Crljenak Kaštelanski and Californian Zinfandel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Sessantanni” is produced by Cantine San Marzano with a careful selection of the best grapes, sourced from \u003cstrong\u003eold vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e cultivated in the countryside of the municipalities of San Marzano and Sava. Vines cultivated in the bush style on the typical red soils of the area, rich in iron oxides, which rest on calcareous and rocky substrates. The hot and dry climate tends to naturally limit yields, and the significant temperature fluctuations between day and night promote the development of particularly intense aromatic profiles. The grapes are hand-picked at a stage of slight over-ripening, with selection in the vineyard of the most beautiful and rich bunches. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 24-26 °C using indigenous yeasts selected in the vineyard. 80% of the mass remains in maceration on the skins for 18 days, and 20% continues maceration for 25 days, allowing for a deeper extraction.
