Tasting Notes

Monte Faustino is owned by the Fornaser family who can trace their winemaking roots back to the early 1900's. The family boast a modern winery in which they combine their years of traditional winemaking with modern equipment to create wines of the highest quality. The winery is situated in Bure Alto at the foot of the Monte Faustino which gives its name to their oldest vineyard.

This Amarone Riserva is Paolo Fournaser's homage to his father. An incredible wine, full bodied and complex with a lightly spiced nose. The grapes spend 4 months drying to concentrate the sugars and flavours. Once fermented, the wine spends 4 years in barrel and 1 year in bottle before being released. The palate is silky and smooth with notes of blackberries, black cherries, cinnamon, clove, leather, coffee and chocolate. Fine grained tannins give weight and structure and the wine finishes long and incredibly concentrated.

The Producer

Monte Faustino

According to archaeological evidence vines were growing in the Valpolicella area some 40 million years ago and winemaking came about around the 5th century BC.

Monte Faustino is owned by the Fornaser family who have been making wine since the early 1900’s. The Vineyards of Monte Faustino are situated in the middle of the historical area of Valpolicella Classica on the hills around villages of San Pietro in Cariano and Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella.

The winery is located on the hilltop of the little hamlet Monte Faustini where the winery name was derived from. The wine-cellar is in a very old part of the of their 16th century building.

The Vineyard of 'Monte Faustino' is the first family vineyard. It is the pride of the winery because of the extraordinary longevity of the terrain, which was planted with vines by the family in 1920.
