Monteforte d'Alpone is a commune in the historic Soave Classico zone. The soils are deep with a loose texture and large areas of basalt/ volcanic rock. This classic Italian white is world famous for its delicate flavour and bouquet. Levarìe refers to the east facing slopes of the Soave Classico area, where the warming morning sunlight stimulates the vines to yield fruit with harmonious qualities. The result are wines that are particularly soft and elegant. Fashioned to a modern style from traditional Veronese grape varieties, Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave.

The unique mesoclimes of Soave Classico keep the Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes healthy, ensuring the superlative quality of harvest each and every year. Fruit analysis in the vineyard at vintage confirms an excellent balance of sugars and total acidity. After a soft crushing, a small portion of the grapes are treated to a criomaceration for twenty four hours at 5C. The remaining components are traditionally vinified in fermenters for two or three weeks at 12C to 16C through the action of cultured yeasts. A course of malolactic varies according to the demands of vintage. Most parts are treated to a a few months of unwooded maturation, a minor component is sent for a term in seasoned oak barrel.
