Out of all of the obscure grapes we've tried over the years, Turbiana from the Lake Garda region of northern Italy holds a special place in our heart as one of our favorites.
One of the first bottles featuring this grape we tried was Ca dei Frati's Brolettino, which, in our opinion at least, was quite the stellar bottle with everything we look for in a delicious white wine.
So when we saw their I Frati bottle, also featuring Turbiana at a more appropriate price point, we picked it up. Although we ultimately thought this one was lacking the intensity and concentration of the Brolettino, we're still glad we tried this one because we really like this grape!
