モンテ・デル・クーカ
Monte del Cuca
WhiteGarganega
Monte del Cuca is Cantine Menti's skin-contact orange wine, made from 100% Garganega grown on the volcanic hills of Gambellara. Extended maceration on the skins gives the wine its deep golden color and tannic grip, while a year of lees aging in concrete builds a rich, textured mouthfeel. Dried apricot, orange peel, and honey notes sit over a dry, mineral-driven palate.
リーヴァ・アルシリア
Riva Arsiglia
WhiteGarganega
Riva Arsiglia is Cantine Menti's flagship still white, made from old-vine Garganega grown on the volcanic soils of Gambellara. Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and bottled unfiltered, it shows a complex profile of stone fruit and dried herbs over a firm, saline mineral backbone, with the structure and persistence to age gracefully.
ロンカイエ・スイ・リエヴィティ
Roncaie sui Lieviti
WhiteSparklingGarganega
Roncaie sui Lieviti is a vibrant, unfiltered pét-nat crafted by Cantine Menti in Gambellara, Veneto. Made from 100% Garganega grown in volcanic soils, it follows the ancestral method, finishing fermentation in the bottle and remaining on its lees ('sui lieviti') without disgorgement. The result is a cloudy, textured sparkling wine with refreshing acidity, notes of citrus and green apple, and a distinct volcanic salinity.
