Cantina di Monteforte – Legacy, Passion & Terroir
Nestled in the volcanic hills of Soave Classico, Cantina di Monteforte embodies the harmony between tradition, nature, and innovation. Founded in 1952, this cooperative unites 600 winegrowers dedicated to sustainable viticulture, crafting wines that authentically reflect their terroir.
The basalt-rich soils, remnants of a tropical sea that disappeared 50 million years ago, impart a unique minerality and complexity to our wines. Our vineyards, cultivated without emergency irrigation, thrive in an ideal climate within a preserved ecosystem where biodiversity plays a key role. Every harvest is done by hand, ensuring the utmost respect for the fruit and a minimal intervention approach to winemaking, preserving the true essence of the land.
Under the Clivus label, our wines reflect generations of expertise, blending tradition with modern techniques to create outstanding vintages. Our commitment to sustainability is evident through eco-friendly practices, reduced inputs, and meticulous winemaking, using low sulfite levels and fine lees aging to enhance aromatic purity.
Cantina di Monteforte continues the story of a unique land, where every bottle tells the tale of volcanic soils and the passion of those who cultivate them.
