Monte Faustino

Valpolicella Amarone producer rooted in the appassimento tradition.

Monte Faustino sits in Valpolicella, the Veneto region of northern Italy renowned for its distinctive dried-grape wines. The winery focuses on Amarone della Valpolicella, the area's signature expression—a wine born from appassimento, the traditional method of drying grapes to concentrate sugars and flavors before fermentation. Monte Faustino's portfolio centers on three flagships: Il Fuoriclasse Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva, a blend of Molinara, Rondinella, and Corvina; the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, built from Oseleta, Corvinone, Corvina, and Rondinella; and Il Maestro Amarone della Valpolicella, combining Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Amarone from this region typically displays the richness and structure that the appassimento process yields—deep fruit character, elevated alcohol, and aging potential. Monte Faustino's expressions reflect the classical Valpolicella approach to this demanding style.
