Appearance:
In the hills of soave the vine-grower, gino magnabosco, together with his family, carry on this very passion that traditions have handed down. Intense scent, dry taste and fresh are characteristics of monte tondo’s wines that are difficult to forget.
DRYING: The grapes are dried in special, well ventilated rooms called fruttai. While the high hillside drying lofts benefit from good natural ventilation and the absence of stagnant humidity and can be regulated by hand with the opening and closing of windows by the vine growers, the drying loft at Campiano has been chosen as the location for an assisted natural appassimento system.
The system kicks in when external climatic conditions are unfavorable or there is a risk of damage to the appassimento process itself, especially during periods of great rainfall or fog
VINIFICATION: The grapes are pressed and de-stemmed. The must is fermented at 23-24°C for approximately 30 days during which time pumping over and punching down the cap takes place every day
AGEING: The wine ages in 500 liter and 5000 liter barrels for 24/26 months followed by a period in bottle before release
