Vinification
Cà del Magro is made from no fewer than eight different grape varieties with a dominance from Garganega, Trebbiano and Incrocio Manzoni. Cryo-maceration and soft pressing occur. Of the must, about 4 to 5% of the Garganega grapes are fermented and aged "sur lie" in small oak Botti for a period of about 4 months; the rest of the grapes are left to ferment slowly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and in contact with their lees, until May. The wine is then bottled and aged for at least 6 months before being offered for sale.

After years of growth and hard work, the family would soon add new DOC-classified territories: Valpolicella, Custoza, Lugana, Soave, and Bardolino. Today, the family owns 137 hectares/338 acres and works another rented 68/168.
Today, after over 60 years, the Bonomo family is still managing Monte del Frà: the second generation, with the brothers Eligio and Claudio, has been joined by the third with Marica,
