About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on clay soils in Trentino at an altitude of 300 m.

Vinification

The wine is made traditionally. Fermentation with natural yeasts takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

It undergoes a short period of bottle ageing before release and is intended to be enjoyed young.

Tasting profile

Soft floral and berry aromas lead to a fresh, fruity palate. These qualities are most expressive in the wine's youth.

Label / history

Cantine Monfort was founded by Giovanni Simoni, grandfather of the current owner, Lorenzo. The winery is based in Lavis, north of Trento, and produces wines from vineyards in the Val di Cembra.
