Soft pressing, fermentation temperature 16-18 degrees C, fermentation and maturation in stainless steel. Aged in stainless steel. Intense and persistent, extremely fine.

From this winery

• Oenologist: Graziano Prà
• Bottles produced: 410.000
• Hectares: 42

Graziano Prà had a calling to become a vine grower, and it is a road he followed with commitment and honesty: from the family vineyards, managed by his grandfather and father, to his training as an oenologist. The true change came in the Eighties, when the establishment of the company f.lli Prà began to take place, the company was initially run by Graziano and his brother, who worked in the vineyard. In 2007, however, Graziano became the sole owner, under his direction the company grew and the territories – Monte Grande (the company cru), Monte Bisson in Soave, and Morandina in Valpolicella – became more important.

"I admire wine, I respect it, and try to bring out what is already written in the soil it is born and grows in. For me, this interpretation of wine was part of a long road, along which my point of reference was the modern sense of a vine grower: the person who oversees and manages each step of the wine, from its production to its transformation, and finally to its sale."
