About the Winery

Giovanni Menti Winery is a family-run estate deeply rooted in the tradition of biodynamic agriculture, producing natural wines that reflect the volcanic richness of our territory. With over a century of winemaking history, spanning four generations, our journey is driven by passion and a profound respect for the land. The Menti family has always aimed to cultivate vines with care, producing wines that evoke the “ancient” methods of winemaking. Our commitment to biodynamic principles means that we work in harmony with nature, without the use of chemicals, to ensure that each wine we produce is a true expression of our terroir. Nestled in a region renowned for its unique volcanic soils, we are proud to share our heritage with visitors who value tradition, sustainability, and authenticity. At Giovanni Menti Winery, we seek to connect people with the same respect and love for nature that guides our work, inviting them to experience our passion in every bottle.

About the Wines

Our wines are crafted with the utmost care and dedication to natural processes, using biodynamic agriculture to preserve the integrity of the land. The Roncaie sui Lieviti is a pet-nat sparkling wine, unfiltered and fermented with natural yeasts, ideal for light, refreshing aperitifs. Riva Arsiglia, a white wine from old vines, undergoes long fermentation with native yeasts and is bottled unfiltered, offering a dry and well-structured profile perfect for pairing with a variety of meals, except for red meats and strong cheeses. Monte del Cuca is an orange wine made from Garganega grapes, fermented on the skins and aged on its lees for a year, making it a great companion to cheeses, fatty fish, and boiled meats. Omomorto is a Metodo Classico sparkling wine from Durella grapes, known for its freshness and acidity, with a sharp finish that complements fish-based dishes. For those seeking something sweeter, Albina, a passito wine, is an exquisite dessert wine, while Vin de Granaro, a sweet balsamic wine aged for 6 to 10 years, pairs beautifully with bold cheeses like gorgonzola. Each of our wines is a reflection of our dedication to natural winemaking, preserving the purity of the vine and the health of our consumers.

Excellent
I recently had the pleasure of taking a tour at the Giovanni Menti Winery and I can say with certainty that it was an excellent experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and the familiar and cozy atmosphere immediately put us at ease.

The tour was led by an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide. Her vast knowledge of viticulture and winemaking techniques greatly enriched our visit. Each stage of the tour was explained in a detailed manner, with interesting anecdotes and in-depth explanations that made the experience not only educational but also extremely engaging.

The quality of the wines tasted was exceptional. Each glass told a story of tradition and passion, reflecting the dedication and skill with which they were produced. The wines of the Giovanni Menti Winery are distinguished by their complexity and finesse, characteristics that make them truly special.

Furthermore, the winery itself is an architectural gem, with a perfect fusion of traditional and modern elements. The spaces were well-kept and offered an ideal environment to immerse oneself in the wine culture.

In conclusion, I highly recommend a visit to the Giovanni Menti Winery to anyone interested in discovering high-quality wines and having an unforgettable experience. The professionalism and expertise of the guide made this tour truly exceptional.

A wonderful experience
We had this experience just us with the owner, Stefano. Very kind and super passionate, he got us involved in a truly beautiful tour of the winery.
He also spoiled us with two extra tastings. Recommended.
