About this wine
A distinctive red showcasing the richness of Montecchia di Crosara and Cazzano di Tramigna vineyards, enhanced by ripasso-style fermentation for added depth and aromatic complexity.
In the cellar: First fermentation takes place in October, followed by a second fermentation with Amarone skins in February. The wine then matures in wooden barrels 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.
