Welcome to another episode of “On The Road Edition”, hosted by Stevie Kim. This episode is part of a mini-series dedicated to Lugana DOC and the winners of 5StarWines and Wine Without Wall selection. Today’s episode is set in Monteci, a family winery from the Lugana DOC Consortium, not far from Verona. Here Stevie will meet Francesco Righetti and together they will taste their award winning bioorganic wine which score 95 points in the 2022 5StarWines and Wine Without Wall selection.
Monteci is the antique nickname, going back more than a century ago, which was given back then to the Righetti family in the Valpolicella region, and which is highly used today to represent the profound bond with its roots. For generations Righetti family has owned and managed an important agricultural patrimony which takes in about 200 hectares only of vines, situated in the best areas of the Veneto region. Of these 200, 70 hectares are situated in the historic area of the Classic Valpolicella to produce the most renowned wines such as Amarone and Ripasso, and 45 hectares in the Lugana area cultivating the perfect grape for same name white wine which has recently had a lot of success on international markets.
