Set among the hillside vineyards of Coloredo di Monte Albano, in the heart of Friuli, Mont’Albano is one of the most prestigious wineries in the Friuli Grave DOC zone. Since 1985, its founder, Mauro Braidot, has made producing organic wines both a mission and a way of life, seeing in this type of agriculture the key to express the winemaking identity of the region distinguished by respect for bio diversity and the wellbeing of the consumer. Identifying themselves with organic agriculture and seizing its commercial potential, which has already proven successful at the Colognola winery with some classic Veronese varieties, the Sartori family acquired Mont’Albano in the spring of 2008, and it is now one of Sartori di Verona’s shining stars.
“Earth to produce and time to prepare” is the philosophy of Mont’Albano. Faithful to the methods of organic agriculture, which prohibits the use of chemical and synthetic products, the company has separated its vineyards from others in order to avoid any possible contamination with pesticides and herbicides. In this way, the best grapes, carefully selected, retain their natural properties and aromas and become natural, wholesome wines of fine quality. An uncommon passion for taste and authenticity reflects respect for the earth, for its timing, and its hidden treasures. A heritage of tastes and understanding that acquires value vintage after vintage.
“Organic” for Mont’Albano is not a just a word, but a way of life and a discipline. All the grapes produced from organic farming and used in the cellar are duly certified by the inspection agencies accredited by the Italian Ministry. As a further guarantee to the consumer, Mont’ Albano operates throughout the production cycle with strict quality specifications that certify the organic reliability of its wines, so that good wine is always synonymous with healthy wine. In line with the orientation towards the eco-sustainable development of the land and its most prized fruit, Mont’ Albano does not stop at good practices in the vineyard; it champions them throughout the production cycle and beyond. For example, bottles are made of lighter-weight glass, while labels are printed on recycled paper with environmentally friendly inks. Small strategies that may not affect the wine, yet ones that protect a heritage more solid and more fragile at the same time: Mother Earth.

Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
Friuli-Venezia Giulia lies in the top-right corner of Italy, between Austria, Slovenia, the Adriatic Sea, and Veneto (Venice!). Although the region is relatively small compared to the rest of Italy, it ranks among the best for producers of white wines. The region is divided in as many as 10 DOC and 4 DOCG areas that grow some thirty different wine varieties, often in small quantities.
Veneto, Italy
Veneto is a northeastern Italian region stretching from the Dolomite Mountains to the Adriatic Sea. Venice, its regional capital, is famed for its canals, Gothic architecture and Carnival celebrations. Veneto was part of the powerful Venetian Republic for more than 1,000 years, between the 7th and 18th centuries. Near alpine Lake Garda, medieval Verona is known as the setting of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet."
Vineyards in the Veneto wine region can be found on the shores of Lake Garda as well as near the lagoon of Venice, at the foot of the Dolomites, and in the hills of Mantua. The variety of the cultivated grapes is unique: it ranges from autochthonous white vines such as the Prosecco or Garganega grape to Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio to the distinct red varieties Corvina and Raboso and to Cabernet and Merlot. With such well-known Venetian wines as Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave and Prosecco, Veneto is one of the most important wine-growing regions in Italy.
