The Heart of Monte Del Frà Is Located in the Village of Custoza on the Morainic Hills of Lake Garda, Only 15Km from Verona The heart of Monte del Frà is located in the village of Custoza on the morainic hills of Lake Garda, only 15km from Verona. Today, the winery that was founded in 1958, owns over 140 hectares of vineyards. Its history is linked to the grand crus such as Cà del Magro, il vigneto Colombara, Grottino, Staffalo, Monte Godi, Monte Fitti, Mascarpine, Bagolina, Pezzarara and Monte del Frà. For the past decade or so, the Bonomo family has also owned a beautiful winery in the Valpolicella Classica village of Fumane along the banks of the Lena stream in Lena di Mezzo. By carefully selecting the land on which to plant vineyards and by meticulously implementing agronomic practices, Monte del Frà has become one of the most avantgarde wineries for the production of high quality grapes. The vineyards are planted in guyot in the areas of Cusotza, Bardolino and Lugana and with the classic “pergola” system in the Valpolicella Classica. These vines produce only 2-3 kg of grapes per plant and are the basis for the winery’s high quality standards. 1. SOAVE CLASSICO DOC 6.

  • Bardolino Doc Classico
    BARDOLINO DOC CLASSICO Harvest 2019 MARCHESINI HISTORY Marcello Marchesini Winery is situated in Lazise on Lake Garda, where it keeps its roots deeply planted and breaths years of hard work, passion and true love for the vineyard. Late Grandfather ‘Nonno Plinio’, worked hard after the war and put all his savings to purchasing a tractor in order to continue working on the land of Count Cavazzocca in Lazise, just as his family had been doing for the previous 200 years. His hard work and determination paid off when in a short space of time he managed to buy for himself Count Cavazzocca’s house and his very first vineyard, the one still known today as I Santi, where the production of the grapes for Bardolino are still being cultivated. In the 80’s, Marcello, the son of Plinio took over the family business and here a new generation started a new way of producing wine. Over the years, Marcello had worked in wineries in the area and brought new ideas to the business. The vision of Nonno Plinio, who had experienced hunger, hard work and the difficulties of working on the land meaning he focused mainly on quantity was then taken over by Marcello’s new way of working on the quality of wine, leaving the idea of quantity behind him. In the new millennium the winery took a new turn when a new ‘Pink’ generation came in to give the winery a feminine touch. The winery is currently run by Marcello’s daughters; Erika and Giorgia. Giorgia is Enologist, following through the process of vinification together with her father Marcello, working both in the wine cellar and in the vines.

  • Understanding Amarone
    UNDERSTANDING AMARONE At 3000 years old, the ancient appassimento winemaking method is the epitome of tried and true. This technique of drying fully ripe grapes on mats or slated crates, for a considerable period of time before fermentation, reaches its apotheosis in the great Italian wines, Amarone and Ripasso. This method helps accentuate the sugars, energize the acids and integrate the tannins resulting in deeper coloured and fuller-flavoured wines. It’s fairly simple. Each producer determines the drying time of their grapes. Ideally, the grapes should raisinate in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to prevent rot. The dehydrated grapes are pressed and fermented dry. Since over 50% of each grape’s liquid (mostly water) is lost to the dehydration process, the flavours of the final wine are intensely concentrated and the alcohol level is anywhere from 2-5% higher than a typical table wine. The secret of this wine’s resurgence is directly related to the popularity of intense, fruit-forward New World wines. Amarones share some of the flavour profile of California Zinfandel or Australian Shiraz, but with a more refined balance between the complex aromas and flavours Amarone is produced in the region of Veneto by estates that make Valpolicella, one of the most popular wines of this area in Northeastern Italy. Amarone della Valpolicella, usually known as Amarone, is a typically rich Italian dry red wine made from the partially dried grapes of the Corvina (40.0% – 70.0%), Rondinella (20.0% – 40.0%) and Molinara (5.0% – 25.0%) varieties. The wine was awarded Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status in December 1990.

The Classico zone is made up of foothills of the Lesini Mountains to the north, is spoilt in three main valleys: from west to east, Fumane, Marano and many places by a patchwork of unattractive industrial Negrar. All are open to the north and thus cool winds funnel development. Valpollicella literally means ‘valley of many down from the mountains. Fumane is the most open valley cellars’.

  • Amarone Della Valpolicella 2016
    Amarone della Valpolicella Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita CLASSICO 2016 Produced in the classic Valpolicella area. The drying on racks of the Corvina, Rondinella, Rossignola and Negrara grapes until mid January and the ageing in large oak barrels and barriques, together with the long period of rest in bottles, allow us to enjoy this great wine. 2016 Climatic trend Winter temperatures were higher than average and particularly dry apart from a little snow. The following months saw temperatures fluctuate, with lower than average values, particularly in July and August. Rainfall remained high, with some days of continuous rain. There were typical summer storms, but no more than normal. The weather was decidedly good with the arrival of September when, despite considera- bly intense rainfall, high temperatures and breezes kept humidity low, enabling the vines to reach maturity. Autumn drew to an end with mild temperatures lasting through until early December. At the beginning of April, early bud break took place in almost all of the vineyards, followed by rapid leaf production. Flowering took place as per normal, towards the end of May. Growth then slowed down and veraison was shown towards the end of July/early August, as has been the norm in the past for the various varieties and environments. Ripening was complete about a month later and harvesting of the grapes destined for storage in the fruttaio began in line with historical averages. Production Grape varieties made up of 70-75% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 5% Rossignola e Negrara. The grapes to be used in the Amarone production are har- vested 1-2 weeks earlier than those for the Valpolicella wine.
