These wines are made by Matt Thomson at the Cantina di Monteforte with fruit that is declassified from Soave DOC status. Verona’s ‘Ponte Pietra’ (stone bridge) dates back to Roman times. The vine, however, has been planted on the hills outside of Verona for much longer than this bridge has spanned the Adige River. This fresh, vibrant and easy drinking wine is firmly within this long tradition of Veronese viniculture. The fruit for the Merlot Corvina is grown in vineyards situated next to the Soave zone in the Val d’Alpone. The Merlot is grown on the warm, sheltered plains, on clay soils and the Corvina in the foothills on tufaceous basalt soils. Both are in vineyards with excellent exposure to ensure complete ripeness.
