Zeno Zignoli is all one whole thing with Monte dei Ragni. 2.5 hectares of vineyard at Marega (Fumane) a wine-area for Valpolicella, Ripasso, Recioto and Amarone that Zeno produces to high levels of quality and natural withering to the right and tradional way. Soft crushing and pressing, a skilful use of the woods and the almost complete exclusion of mechanical pumping systems.
Very low yields in the vineyard with typical pergola accommodation bounded by stone walls, the characteristic so-called: "marogne". Manual work, no "chemical contribution" at all, from fertilizer to pesticides. Only healthy and dedicated wine grapes, not more than 6000 bottles produced. The difficult year 2014 as such, Monte dei Ragni will not come out with Amarone. This Inamphora white (orange) IGT is produced from 96% Garganega grapes and Malvasia Istriana 4% macerated on the skins, not filtered, fermentation and aging is made in amphorae for at least 6 months.
Respect for the land to the balanced use of natural resources and agriculture, the quality of healthy, wholesome life all this and more is the subject embodied by Zeno Zignoli's vision and the genuine wines he makes at his Monte dei Ragni winery.

Simple and excellent. Medium sweet and nutty flavors with slight bitterness. Great with not so strong cheeses — 10 months ago
