Az Agr Monte Tondo
The Monte Tondo vineyard can be found nestling in the gentle hills of Soave just a few kilometres from Verona on a slope overlooking the valley.
Three generations have handed down the precious art of wine-making born from a love for their land and their roots together with the knowledge that it is only through hard work, drive and determination that the best results can be obtained.
In the hills of Soave the vine-grower, Gino Magnabosco, together with his family, carry on this very passion that traditions have handed down.
Just like skilled craftsmen, they carefully and conscientiously follow all the production phases: from the wine to the bottle. They are attentive to any new improvement in grape-producing technology in order to guarantee wine of the best quality at all times to represent the area in which it is produced.
Twenty-five hectares of vineyards are situated on the best plots that the Soave zone can offer: Monte Tenda, Monte Foscarino and Monte Tondo, from which the vineyard takes its name, ensure that the wine produced has an intense perfume, a bouquet ranging from floral to fruity with an unmistakeable flavour, difficult to forget. The cultivation of the vines, in trellis-work or in guyot style, allow the grapes, mainly Garganega and Trebbiano of Soave, to grow to their best advantage, and, thanks to the volcanic soil typical of the zone, features of the white grapes are consequently intensified.
The fruit is chosen carefully and only the best is selected to make the vineyard’s most prestigious wines. The design of wine cellars, with arches and terracotta bricks, captures the rural style of country villages and is evident in the close ties of old-fashioned flavours that the vineyard has established between its wines and the hills that inspired not only Dante’s poetry but also other famous authors of Italian literature. Intense scent, dry taste and fresh are characteristics of Monte Tondo's wines that are difficult to forget. Magnabosco family is attentive to any new improvement in grape-producing technology of Soave and Valpolicella, in order to guarantee wine of the best quality at all times to represent the area in which it is produced.
