Dove la terra si fa luce e pazienza: Ca' del Magro 2023 di Monte del Frà
Sulle colline moreniche del Custoza la terra custodisce una storia geologica antica, fatta di ghiacciai che si ritirano, di ciottoli levigati dall’acqua e di un suolo vivo, sospeso tra la precisione della ghiaia e la profondità dell'argilla. Qui lo sguardo scivola morbido verso l’orizzonte del Lago di Garda ed è qui che, quasi settant'anni fa, è iniziato il viaggio di Monte del Frà. Fondata nel 1958 da Massimo Bonomo , l'azienda ha saputo trasformare una radice agricola in una visione vitivinicola d'eccellenza. Oggi, guidata con complicità e lungimiranza dalla seconda e terza generazione della famiglia – con Claudio ed Eligio affiancati da Marica, Massimo e Silvia – Monte del Frà rappresenta un modello contemporaneo di sartorialità enologica.

The Holy Trinity
While on a trip to Porto and the Douro recently, a colleague and I started talking about “field blends” and I admitted that I find the mystique given to them to be a bit, how shall we say… ‘bullshit’. It’s often part of the branding at many wineries that, if they have an old vineyard, they’ll upsell the aspect that they pick all the grapes together and ferment the one as one, singular, beautiful wine.
