| Description: | About the Icons. A Monthly Wine Club Selection. The Pra family owns and works in one of the highest-altitude wine cellars in Veneto, locat-ed at 1,500 feet above sea level. From its perch, tucked away in the Lessini hills, Dama del Rovere sets itself apart from the masses of Soave producers with its high-altitude vineyards, which yield notably vibrant, character-rich white wines. The vineyards are plant-ed on the slopes of Monte Calvarina, an inactive volcano. The soils (primarily volcanic) are rich in minerals and ideal for the cultivation of native white grapes Garganega and Durella, which account for the majority of the vines. Winemaker Massimo Pra and his brother, Davide are fourth generation winegrowers; and the winery name Dama del Rovere is a shortening of their names: Davide and Massimo "Dama," which also means lady-and a reference to the votive Madonna carved into an oak tree-or "rovere"-located in the family's vineyard. |
