Fragrant and complex, with aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, citrus and tropical fruit, the palate is fresh yet beautifully textured, showing lively acidity, delicate minerality and subtle almond notes, leading to a long, elegant finish.

The producer
Monte del Fra
Custoza, VenetoFounded 1958approx. 180 ha of vineyardmontedelfra.it
Massimo Bonomo rented the Monte del Frà farm at Custoza in 1958, on land monks had cultivated since 1492. In 1988 his sons Eligio and Claudio committed the family entirely to viticulture, and the third generation now runs some 180 hectares across Custoza, Lugana, Bardolino and Valpolicella Classica (Tenuta Lena di Mezzo, acquired 2006). The winery works under certified SQNPI integrated production.
