Montonale was born from an ancient family farming tradition that blossomed on the hills of Desenzano del Garda. Here, in the early twentieth century, Francesco Girelli plowed two hectares of land in the Conta area. Roberto Girelli, with his brothers Claudio and Valentino, has breathed the scents of the cellar since he was a child. In 2002, just twenty years old, his first harvest follows. The following year he presented 800 bottles with the Girelli brand, sold to family friends and enrolled in the Faculty of Viticulture and Oenology in Verona. The first Lugana comes with the 2004 harvest, in 2005 the family plants another five hectares of vineyards in Turbiana and other red grape varieties.
Pleasant, immediate and at the same time elegant and complex, it expresses the most sincere identity of the Lugana area.
A Chiaretto that takes shape and color in one night: the one in which the bunches, delicately pressed, are cold macerated. This is Rosa di Notte, a protagonist in the tradition of the rosé wines of Lake Garda. Fragrant and delicate, it surprises for its versatility and elegance.
The "big brother" of Montunal owes its rich and complex imprint to the peculiar characteristics of the vineyard of the same name, with an excellent southern exposure.
