Almost two centuries later, in 1958, Massimo Bonomo rented two rooms and the adjacent fields. His family opened a Frasca, a typical Venetian bulk wine shop. They made wine and grew peaches, strawberries, and wheat.
Today, after over 60 years, the Bonomo family is still managing Monte del Fra`: the second generation, with the brothers Eligio and Claudio, has been joined by the third with Marica, Silvia, and Massimo.

| Wine making | Cryomaceration, soft pressing. For the must of the Garganega grapes, about 4%-5% of the entire batch, fermentation and maturation "sur lies" in small oak barrels for a period of about 4 months. The rest is fermented in steel vats, slowly, at a controlled temperature and in contact with its own yeasts until May. This is followed by bottling, where it matures for at least 6 months before being released for sale. |
