Monte Tondo is a small family estate located just a few miles from Verona, today run by the fourth-generation brother-and-sister team of Marta and Luca Mangabosco. The winery is located within the Soave Classico region and so is known primarily for its white wines, but the family also recently began growing the traditional red grapes of Valpolicella, Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella, from which this wine is made. This San Pietro is a blend of those three red grapes, but the hand-picked grapes are left to semi-dry for 20-30 days in special dry and well-ventilated rooms called “fruttai.” The juice is left on the skins for six days, then left to age in barrels for five months. The result is an unusually complex Valpolicella with rich aromas of violets and cherries, well balanced, with a light, smooth, slightly tannic finish.
