ABOUT THIS WINE
Monte Faustino Flo is a Verona Rosso IGT from Azienda Agricola Monte Faustino di Fornaser Paolo, a family winery in the Valpolicella Classica region of Veneto. The wine's name, 'Flo,' is inspired by a gentle summer breeze. The producer cultivates grapes on approximately 3 hectares of vineyards. The winemaking tradition is honored with a cellar located in a historic sixteenth-century farmhouse, while modern winemaking occurs in a new facility. The wine is a blend primarily featuring Corvina Veronese, with the addition of Sangiovese. A distinctive element of its production involves a brief drying period for the Corvina grapes before vinification.
