Producer
From humble beginnings in 2022, Monte Castelon has rocketed to become our best-selling Veneto red. With a difficult vintage like 2024 in their sights, Silvano and Maurizio wasted no time in selecting only the very best grapes and discarding the rest. This is as filigree as red wine can ever be — and it is unmissable.
Monte Castelon are on the cover of C336 for a reason: organic high-altitude Valpolicella from a 4th-generation family who think of themselves as farmers first.
Valpolicella is the original home of the Ripasso style that has become popular all over Italy. With intense flavours of ripe cherry and plum, this has admirable freshness and purity of fruit for a Ripasso. Rich and satisfying. 2027- 2029 – RB
