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 La 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.
Our precious Amarone is made with the best grapes and outstanding care. The very slow and gradual wilting, the large wooden barrels, and the indigenous yeasts are just a few secrets of a true Amarone di Fumane. Despite the noteworthy alcohol content, the flowers, the spices, and the extreme elegance of this wine cannot go unnoticed - a pure and essential wine that leaves no room for compromise.
Excellent with red braised, grilled or roasted meat. It goes well with aged cheeses, fatty fish and asian cuisine. Also delicious alone by the glass as meditation wine.
A soft crushing and destemming takes place from late January to early March according to the vintages. Slow alcoholic fermentation in small steel vats with a long maceration of the
skins to allow maximum aromatic and polyphenolic extraction. Once the malolactic fermentation is over, the wine is aged for at
least 24 months in 20 and 30 hl french oak. Once bottled, it ages for at least 6 months before being going to market.
