The best wineries in Sommacampagna.
Azienda Agricola Monte Frà is located in the heart of Custoza, east of Lake Garda and just 15 km from the old town of Verona, was founded by brothers Eligio and Claudio Bonomo in 1958. The firm today is composed of more than 100 hectares of property, among which, besides the namesake Monte, other estate owe their name to the same locality, such as Cà del Magro, Monte Godi, Mascarpine, Staffalo, Monte Fitti, Grottino and the beautiful Lena di Mezzo Estate in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica: Fumane.
Other hectares, then, are rented and all in the best zones of Verona. The family’s passion for wine of the Bonomo family was born in the country, whose staunch belief that good wine has its first origins in the vineyard, has meant that the first radical choices were made in its nature, leading to increase the number of vineyards in the field, a number that varies depending on the variety from 4,000 to 7,000 vines per hectare and choosing as a system of farming only the double Guyot and spurred cordon systems, which require to produce no more than 2–3 kg per plant. All the vineyards are completely irrigated through micro–irrigation, to allow the plant to be supplied in the best way in every season. The preservation of vintage characteristics are then guaranteed in the wine cellar, where through the temperature control both during pressing and during the fermentation and processing of musts optimally preserves the characteristics of each wine produced. The winery also has a loft for drying grapes, a barrel room for the aging of structure wines, a bottling plant and a storage wine cellar at a controlled temperature.
The meticulous attention that the family puts in every step of production means that their wines are imposed on domestic, European and international markets, chosen among the most representative of the typicality of Verona.
Besides the important approval of the customer quality, wines are confirmed by numerous journalistic awards, contests and guides who annually come from all over the world.
Cavalchina is the name of the area where the company is located, a name that probably was attributed to the fact that it was the residence of Count Cavalchini.
Located in the extreme South–East of the morainic amphitheater of Lake Garda, it has always had a vinegrowing vocation. In effect, the land registry of the Hapsburgs in 1848 already reports the existence of a large number of vineyards with the classification of Frist and Second category.
Probably, this classification was not only based on quality, but took into account the constant of production of the vineyard, to say, that of its resistance to drought, the main feature of the moraine soils of Lake Garda.
Cavalchina was stage of battles during the Fist and Second Wars of Independence; to witness the battle of 1866, a brown slate obelisk that commemorates the wounding of Prince Amedeo of Savoy remains.
The Cavalchina Farm was founded at the beginning of the latest century with the purchasing of the first group of vineyards, the winery was built later and was partly intended as a vinasse distillery, a facility which remained in activity until 1967. The most important historical fact linked to the Cavalchina Farm within the wine cellar was certainly the invention of Custoza, as Cavalchina in 1962 was the first to call Custoza the white wine of the area, obtained from Fernanda, Trebbiano and Garganega grapes, and to bring this wine to establish itself in the markets, then the most important, such as Rome and Milan.
The vineyards of San Pietro do not represent a company, but the dream of two sensitive people in love with nature. Sergio and Franca: my father and my mother.
In 1980 their journey in search of a place led them to Vogne di San Pietro, a unique estate, located on the hill of San Pietro in Sommacampagna moraine, between Verona and Lake Garda.
An island just a few steps from the city, nestled in the rolling high countryside (Summa Campania), caressed by the cool winds of the lake. From the search of a better quality in their vines, comes the desire to deal with nature and with the generous grapes of the moraine area.
The quality, already with the first harvest in 1981, essential to be present on the market, is now looking to express its own personality criticism compared with fashionable technicalities. In 2007 the friend Giovanni Boscani joined the company as a partner, who brought as a dowry, in addition to his professionalism in the industry, ten hectares of vineyards in the Valpolicella Classica area. The collaboration with his friend oenologist Federico Giotto, started already in 2000, produced a significant increase in quality, while respecting our style and territory.
Our wines are Custoza DOC, Bardolino DOC, Cordenosa IGT, rosé of pure Corvina, Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC, Amarone Classico DOC, Refol IGT, important red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon raisin grapes and Merlot and Duecuori IGT, raisin of Moscato Giallo.

Over the years the quality of wine has remained unchanged. Luigi has expressly chosen to preserve carefully the typical character of his wine, obtained through the hard and skillful work of his predecessors.
The inevitable technological evolution that has characterized the last decades, and that has become too often synonymous with uniformity and annihilation of the added value of handmade products, in the case of Azienda Agricola Villa Medici has become a means of improving and enhancing products.
As a prime example, the harvest. Grapes, in effect, are cut and collected in special bins in order to maintain their integrity, and then the step of pressing takes place in an extremely short time, three or four hours, and this allows to obtain a perfect must in which the valuable characteristics of the fruit are preserved.
The philosophy of Azienda Agricola Villa Medici is, therefore, a perfect combination of tradition and avant–garde. Every business decision and every little gesture is aimed to pursue a single goal: to preserve the unique and distinctive taste of the Bianco di Custoza wine, typical of the Caprara family.
