Azienda Agricola Monte del Frà 'Tenuta Lena di Mezzo' Valpolicella Classico DOC, 2022

Regular price $21.00

This wine is a classic blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, from the hilly vineyards of Valpolicella. We would pair it with a Hungarian beef goulash, and serve with a slight chill from 10 minutes in the fridge or a couple months in the cellar. Bright flavors of plum, black cherry and licorice dance across the fresh palate to a long finish. Monte del Frà is in its third generation, with winemaking beginning in 1958, when Massimo Bonomo rented a couple rooms on the estate and made wine outside the back of his "Frasca", a typical bulk wine shop.

Details

From our Importer: In terms of scale, Monte del Fra is well outside the size of most of the wineries we represent. In term of intentions, not so. Azienda Agricola Monte del Fra started with just a few hectares of vines in Custoza 65 years ago. Custoza was not then and still to this day not a well known or respected zone. Yet they were so successful making delicious wines there (something that seems to have escaped the grasp of other producers there) that it fueled growth to 240 hectares in every one of the Veronese appellations. (140 owned and another 100 leased & farmed by them). Although they have been making really good wine at all of the properties, the Custoza wines where it all began, are a pride and joy and for good reason. Quoting a recent article on the Custoza bottlings from Jancis Robinsons site, "It’s quite difficult to describe just how beautiful this wine is", & "There are wines twice, thrice the price and half as good".
