Prà, Valpolicella Morandina 2021

Historic, benchmark producer of Soave and an under-the-radar, great producer of Valpolicella and Amarone

Valpolicella vineyards are certified organic, the Soave vineyards are in conversion to be certified

All of their Soave are ageworthy but especially their top cuvees of Monte Grande and Colle Sant'Antonio

Their reds are from high elevation vineyards rich in limestone - producing reds that are much more focused and mineral-driven than much of their counterparts in the appellation
