Tasting Notes: Textural richness meets dynamic, lively acidity in the Pra Soave Monte Grande. Complexity of exotic fruit and fresh yellow citrus fill the mouth along with sweet almond and vanilla. The Garganega grapes harvested at over-ripeness and the Trebbiano di Soave grapes bearing an important acidic profile guarantee great aging potential. Monte Grande pairs nicely with shellfish, fish, quiche, seafood risotto and roasted meat. Ideal served with quiche, seafood risotto and roast meat.
Estate History: Located in the heart of Soave Classico, Monte Grande is the prized vineyard of the estate. The Prà family has owned Monte Grande for generations with much of the plantings done in the late 1970s. The vineyard is located about 500 feet above sea level. The rich volcanic soil imparts power, minerality and aromatic complexity to the wines, differing from the floral and acid-driven Soave produced from limestone-rich soil. Graziano Prà was one of the first to produce a vineyard designated Soave. His first production of Monte Grande was in 1988.
