White dry
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, who has led Azienda Agricola di Graziano Prà since 1980, continues the long-standing winemaking traditions of his family, passed down from his father and grandfather. He has devoted his life to viticulture in the village of Monteforte d’Alpone, an area renowned for its volcanic soils in the Soave Classico DOC zone of the Veneto region.
Grapes and Philosophy
Graziano Prà’s principal grape variety is Garganega, from which he produces some of Italy’s most distinctive and authentic white wines. His philosophy is rooted in expressing the natural character of the grapes and the uniqueness of the terroir.
In the vineyards, he pays meticulous attention to each vine, while in the cellar he strives to preserve maximum fruit purity, freshness, and minerality — qualities that clearly define the style of his wines.
Ecological Approach
Graziano Prà has also taken on the challenge of cultivating the La Morandina vineyard in the Mezzane Valley of Valpolicella. Managed according to ecological principles, this site yields intense and characterful red wines. His goal is to produce sustainable, environmentally responsible wines while maintaining a natural balance between soil, vine, and human intervention.
