Surrounded by woods and a breathtaking panorama, the 18 hectares/44.5 acres of the Lena di Mezzo estate form the heart of the Valpolicella Classica and dominate the landscape below the Salette sanctuary. History, elegance, and territorial complexity are the key elements of Monte del Frà's stylistic credo. In this extraordinary territory, they find a new mainspring.
The Valpolicella (namely Val polis cellae, The valley of many cellars) is where each commune and vineyard distinct themselves through their very own nature. The vinification, harvesting, and wilting take place in San Pietro in Cariano, a modern structure with air-conditioned wilting premises able of controlled wilting of up to 300 tons of grapes. Thus, we can preserve the crispness and elegance of every single grape and ensure that technology becomes a tool to unfold the complexity and elegance of a true Valpolicella wine.
It is a Valpolicella that takes its time in the big barrel and with an essence that is the perfect liaison between territory and time. Thus, it becomes a complex, deeply elegant wine that goes with meat dishes perfectly. No hidden tricks, just pure style.
Perfect with red and white meats and roast poultry dishes.Delicious with roasts, stews or braised meats and with hard cheeses.
Gentle crushing and destemming, followed by temperature-
controlled fermentation in small truncated cone-shaped stainless steel vats with daily punching down of the cap of skins into the must so as to allow for the delicate extraction
of all the complex range of polyphenols that are specific to the grapes and the terroir of Fumane. After the first and the malolactic fermentation wine stays at least 12 months in 30 hl oak casks and left in bottles for at least 5/6 months.
