About the producer: Located in Castellroto, in the hills outside of Verona, the vineyards of Monte dall Ora are planted on a base of limestone soil and form a natural amphitheatre facing southeast towards the city. The owners, Alessandra and Carlo Venturini are firm adherents to biodynamic principles. As such, they encourage the growth of biodiversity by planting herbs such as rosemary and lavender in the summer, whose fragrant blooms are attractive to bees; and sowing cereals in the winter, whose roots move and aerate the soil. In addition, they've emphasized traditional and native grape varieties wherever possible to give originality and typical wines.
