Ca Del Monte is the name of a location that hooks over the village of Negrar, North of Verona, in the heart of Valpolicella, easy to reach through the panoramic way that climbs the hills after San Peretto.
The original building of the estate of Ca' del Monte, is a 17th century mansion, constructed from the rests of an ancient monastery. The winery, today directed with lots of enthusiasm by the young brothers Umberto and Giuseppe Zanconte, has been property of the Zanconte family for generations. The two brothers follow personally all steps of production and agree together their business strategies.
The winery lays on approximately 50 acres of vineyards, entirely located on the hills of the district of Negrar, perfectly exposed to the sun, looking south, south-west. From always, vineyards planted with the typical red grapes of that region, Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and other traditional varietals, from which originate outstanding Amarone and great Valpolicellas.
Vineyards: Approx 50 acres (23 hectares) in the common of Negrar, on the hillside growing region north of Verona, known as Valpolicella. South West exposure at an altitude of 270-300 meters on sea level. Vines of 20-40 years old.
Training System: Pergola Veneta, Guyot and Spurred Cordon
Average Yield: 8 tons per hectar (well below the legal limit), obtained with careful selection to reach excellent quality.
