Monte del Cuca - Menti

With the Menti Monte Del Cuca, a first-class white wine finds its way into the glass. It presents a wonderfully brilliant, platinum-yellow color. This Italian cuvée shows wonderfully expressive notes of apple, mirabelle plum, lemon, and peach in the glass. Hints of thyme join in as well.

The Menti Monte Del Cuca presents itself to the wine drinker pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from such a wine. On the palate, this light-footed white wine is characterized by an incredibly crisp texture. On the finish, this white wine from the Veneto wine-growing region delights with beautiful length. Once again, nuances of dried apricot appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the volcanic rock–dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Menti Monte Del Cuca

The basis for the elegant Monte Del Cuca from Italy is grapes of the Gambellara and Garganega varieties. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Veneto. Here the vines sink their roots deep into soils of volcanic rock. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures follows. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before being bottled.
