Producer Profile

Montezovo wines are produced entirely with grapes from family-owned vines spread over the main Verona appellations: Valpolicella, Garda, Lugana and Lessini.

Each wine is the result of conscious choices made in the vineyard, where the interaction between grape varietal, soil, climate and location are all carefully considered. Most of the vineyards are 550m above sea level, with some beyond 900m – much higher than is usual for the region, but with clear benefits for both the vines and their fruit. The fruits of this incredible terroir are most eloquently expressed in Montezovo’s flagship wines, Calinverno Rosso Veronese and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG.

Viticulture

Multiple plots located in the most occupied areas of the Soave Appellation. The soil is predominantly volcanic and calcareous. The principal training system is Pergola.

Winemaking

The harvest usually begins in the mid of September. After being moved to the winery, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Then the static clarification of the must is followed by the fermentation in inert vessels at an average temperature of 14-15° C. The wine remains on its lees for approximately 4 months before bottling.

Tasting Note

Pale yellow in colour with greenish hues. Fresh and fragrant, with floral and summer fruits bouquet, like peach and apricot. Its mineral freshness makes it elegant.

Food Matching

It pairs perfectly with raw fish dishes, shellfish and with pasta and pesto, white meats and fresh and delicate cheeses.
