In the hills of soave the vine-grower, gino magnabosco, together with his family, carry on this very passion that traditions have handed down. Intense scent, dry taste and fresh are characteristics of monte tondo’s wines that are difficult to forget. Magnabosco family is attentive to any new improvement in grape-producing technology of soave and valpolicella, in order to guarantee wine of the best quality at all times to represent the area in which it is produced.
