About this wine
A Ripasso-style expression that combines ripe, concentrated fruit with a smooth, structured body, showcasing both the mineral character of the terroir and the elegance of traditional Val d’Alpone winemaking.
In the cellar: Merlot grapes from warm basaltic soils and Corvina from the upper Val d’Alpone are left to dry for 30 days, concentrating fruit flavours and reducing weight by ~35%. After pressing, the must undergoes extended skin contact before maturing in cask for at least 12 months.

Cantina di Monteforte
Founded in 1952 by 80 local growers, Cantina di Monteforte d’Alpone stands at the gateway to the Val d’Alpone, a zone renowned for its volcanic soils, the Bolca fossils, and the production of Soave Classico. Today, the cooperative unites over 600 members cultivating around 1,200 hectares of vineyards — 80% of which are classified DOC. The vineyards, primarily located on hilly, volcanic terrain, impart a distinctive minerality and depth to the wines. Combined with the area’s favourable exposure and mild climate, these conditions yield wines of notable harmony, freshness, and aromatic finesse. Cantina di Monteforte produces wines under several ranges — Clivus, Prima Pietra, Cantina di Monteforte, La Corte, and Re Teodorico — each expressing the cooperative’s dedication to quality, tradition, and the unique terroir of Soave.
