This wine originally came from my family’s old vineyard. This wine is the result of lengthy reasoning, research, and experiments, where nothing was left to chance: Monte Grande wants to be my great Soave wine.
The grapes are destemmed and pressed softly. Fermentation is carried out at 13°C, fermentation in steel tanks and aging in large 30 hl casks made of Allier oak. The wine is then left in casks to mature for 10 months.
Serve at 8-10 °C with shellfish, prawns, red tuna, pasta dishes or medium-ripened 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.
