Grapes are hand picked and sorted before pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The two stage aging process is initially on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 6 months followed by 6 months in used oak barriques. The wine is aged for a further 2 months in bottle before release.

Cà dei Frati dates back to 1782 with a reference in a document to a cellar at the House of the Friars. In 1939 winemaker Felice Dal Cero moved to the house and began planting vines and establishing the winery. In 1969 Felice's son Pietro was one of the winemakers behind the establishment of the DoC Lugana. Today the business is managed by Pietro's children, Igino, Gian Franco and Anna Maria. They have over 200 hectares of prime vineyards and have become one of Lugana's best wine producers.
