Graziano Prà Monte Grande Soave Classico DOC 2022 - one of the most famous Soave wines, Monte Grande is born from old Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave vines growing high in the hills, which are cared for by the famous winemaker Graziano Prà. The harvest here is always very limited, and the berries are picked by hand when they reach perfect concentration. A small part of the grapes is left on the vines longer - in order to give the wine even more maturity and structure. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, after which the wine rests with the yeast for several more months.
The aroma reveals notes of ripe stone fruit, golden apples, pears and honey, accompanied by subtle herbal and almond tones. The taste is rich, creamy, but at the same time fresh and elegant, with expressive minerality and a long, gently nutty aftertaste.
Serve at 8-10 °C with shellfish, shrimp, red tuna, pasta dishes or medium-mature cow or goat cheeses.
Graziano Prà has been part of the company since the early 80s but it was his father and grandfather who sealed his fate as winemaker.Regions such as Monte Grande and Monte Bisson in Soave and Morandina in Valpolicella have risen to international fame thanks to him; small esteemed Crus located in strong viticulture areas.The principles that have shaped his story are quintessence and respect for the land. Purity is a key word to describe Graziano wines. He is still in charge of winemaking decisions and, in the wine cellar, he prefers the exaltation of the fruit. Research and innovation are inspired by the enhancement of the high quality of grapes coming from the field. From the beginning, his production choice to only use local vine varieties reflects Graziano’s strong belief in the potential quality of local grapes and for the enhancement of the territory.
