The Romeo Rosso Veronese 2018 from Monte Tondo is a rich and expressive red wine that combines tradition and innovation. The wine has a deep ruby-red colour that reflects its intensity and depth. The bouquet opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherries and plums, complemented by hints of spice such as black pepper, liquorice and a touch of vanilla from ageing in oak. A subtle touch of dark chocolate and tobacco can also be detected on the nose, adding to the complexity. On tasting, this wine offers a harmonious balance between power and finesse. The palate is full and concentrated, with notes of ripe red and black fruit, supported by silky tannins and a lovely structure. The fresh acidity brings liveliness and keeps the wine in balance. The finish is long and elegant, with a refined mix of fruity and spicy notes that linger for a long time.
Excellent with grilled red meat, game dishes, stews or mature cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano.
Monte Tondo is a renowned family estate based in the heart of the Veneto region, surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of Soave and Valpolicella. The winery has a long tradition spanning three generations and is dedicated to making wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

Monte Tondo’s vineyards are located on some of the best plots in the region, characterised by limestone-rich soils and an ideal microclimate. This terroir, combined with traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, results in wines that perfectly capture the essence of Valpolicella.
