The monte tondo estate is nestled among the gentle hills of Soave, just a few kilometres from Verona, on a slope overlooking the valley.
Thirty Two hectares of vineyards are situated on the best plots that the Soave region has to offer: Monte Tenda, Monte Foscarino and Monte Tondo.
Clay free soil with a calcareous skeleton, lends a marked minerality and intense fruit aromas to the wines.
Together with his family, third generation winemaker Gino Magnabosco produces intensely aromatic wines.
CAREFULLY SELECTED GRAPES ARE HARVESTED BETWEEN THE END OF AUGUST AND THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER.
AFTER THE PICKING OF THE GRAPES, THEY ARE DESTEMMED, CRUSHED AND LIGHTLY PRESSED.
