Vinification
The grapes are harvested towards the second ten days of October
after a short drying in the plant continued in the fruit cellar in
boxes at controlled temperature and humidity. The resting of
the grapes lasts for 120 days, depending on the season, until the
sugar concentration of the grapes has reached at least 28% - 30%. A soft crushing and destemming takes place from late January
to early March according to the vintages. Slow alcoholic
fermentation in small steel vats with a long maceration of the
skins to allow maximum aromatic and polyphenolic extraction.
Once the malolactic fermentation is over, the wine is aged for at
least 24 months in 20 and 30 hl french oak. Once bottled, it ages
for at least 6 months before being going to market.

About Az. Monte del Frá
The domain of Monte del Frà is situated in the heart of the Custoza region, east of Lake Garda, 15 km from the center of Verona. It was founded in 1958 by the Eligio brothers and Claudio Bonomo. Today the domain covers around 100 hectares. All vineyards are fully equipped with an irrigation system, so that the vines receive the necessary nutrition every season, which forms a perfect basis for the Monte del Frà wines.
Thanks to the dedication of the Bonomo family and the attention they devote to every step of the production process, the wines became very popular, both in Italy and throughout Europe. Their wines have been selected on the international market as the most representative of the Verona region.
