Monte del Frà, meaning “land of the monks,” traces its roots back to the late 15th century when a group of friars established a monastery on this fertile land in northern Italy. By the 16th century, 25 hectares had been leased for the cultivation of vineyards and fruit trees, a legacy you can still see documented today in Vienna’s historic library. Today, Monte del Frà is a renowned family-owned Italian winery near Lake Garda, passionately run by the Bonomo family for over 60 years. Now in its third generation, Marica, Silvia, and Massimo Bonomo are dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect both tradition and terroir.

The nearby mountains shield the vineyards from harsh northern winds, while the lake moderates extreme seasonal temperatures, ideal conditions for growing premium grapes. What truly sets Monte del Frà apart is its commitment to sustainable vineyard practices in Northern Italy. The estate spans rolling morainic hills formed by ancient glaciers, creating the perfect environment for cultivating indigenous grape varieties that define the character of each handcrafted wine.
