Reviving and preserving.
The desire to create the Fra i Monti winery from scratch was born from the will to return to the land to produce organic, natural wines that are born first in the vineyard and then in the cellar.
After gaining the right experience, Rocco and Benedetto, friends since childhood, managed to recover old vineyards that were abandoned at a rather high latitude, at around 1000 meters above sea level.
Surrounded by a dominant nature, characterized by chestnut trees, the vineyards are composed of indigenous cultivars such as Maturano, a white grape almost completely extinct, and Semillon, a grape variety imported from France during the Napoleonic era.
All of the Fra i Monti vineyards are grown organically without the use of chemicals, and in the cellar, there is a biodynamic approach, with spontaneous fermentation, indigenous yeasts, and refinement in amphorae. They produce a limited number of bottles, which allows them to manage the winery at its best by focusing with the due care on the whole process.
The wines of Fra i Monti authentically reflect the territory. They are approachable, highly drinkable, and enjoyable, while still offering a rich variety of sensations and complexity.
