Origin
Grapes are sourced from several hillside vineyards near Verona. The cooperative's growers have reduced yields considerably, producing high quality fruit.
Grape Variety
100% Pinot Grigio.
Once harvested the skins are left in contact with the juice for about 18 hours to give the wine its attractive colour. Fermented at low temperatures to maintain freshness and delicate aromas.
Alcohol Percentage

Producer
Monteforte is a cooperative situated in the east of Soave, with 1200 hectares both inside and outside the Soave Classico zone. Many of their vineyards - including Montegrande - are situated on hillsides facing south and south east, producing riper and fuller wines than many of their contemporaries. Matt Thompson, renowned kiwi, winemaker and previous IWC 'White Winemaker of the Year' works with Gaetano Tobin to produce the coop's wines.
Food Match
The perfect partner to shellfish and goats cheese (although food is not required)
