Description
Garganega is an indigenous grape variety, typical of the Soave area. It has a beautiful golden colour and releases an intense fruity and floral aroma. It is a grape with great productivity and excellent resistance, good balance and softness, medium structure and persistence. The Garganega grape is cultivated on the volcanic hills surrounding the towns of Monteforte d'Alpone and Soave, and partly near the Lessini Mountains. The volcanic soils of these areas, composed of basaltic rocks, rich in tuff and limestone inclusions, are particularly suited to this grape, giving it great minerality and flavour, and allowing it to express its potential to the full.

Keeping in mind these premises the company aims to interpret and value its vineyards, producing a wine which encloses the best characteristics of a volcanic soil rich in minerals: the slopes of Monte Calvarina. The result is a vast selection of white and red wines that are able to show a wide range of harmonic and persistent aromas and sensations, offering quality, freshness and tradition even to the most hard-to-please consumers. The company decided to let all the wines rest in the winery’s cellar for one year before being marketed and the consumers are always astonished by the longevity and the ageing potential of these particular wines.
An out-and-out success obtained by Sandro de Bruno thanks to a meticulous preparatory work on terroir and international and indigenous grape varieties, combined with the patience to wait for all the stages of the vinification process to be fully accomplished. Every single product of the winery reflects the soul of Mount Calvarina, the place in which the vineyards are cultivated, an area with a unique and ideal microclimate. Rains, temperature range between night and day, daily sun exposure, constant ventilation and the perfect drainage of the soil influence in a positive way the ripening of our grapes. Every single product reflects Sandro’s philosophy, which is based on the respect towards nature and towards the metrics of time. Read more
