About Prà
Graziano Prà
Graziano Prà grew up surrounded by his family's vineyards in Monteforte d'Alpone, in the heart of Soave Classico. His father and grandfather farmed the land but did not bottle the wines; in the early 1980s Graziano dedicated his life to the family estate and began bottling under the Prà name.
Volcanic Soave Classico
Monteforte d'Alpone lies in the eastern hills of Soave Classico, where soils are rich in black volcanic basalt rather than limestone. These soils give the wines an underlying power and mineral tension. The estate is centered on Garganega, alongside Trebbiano di Soave, and the family also farms vineyards in Valpolicella.
Organic and Natural
The vineyards are certified organic, and all fermentations use native yeasts. The traditional pergola veronese training and careful hillside farming support wines built for clarity rather than heavy-handed technique.
Style and Reputation
Prà is widely seen as one of the most authentic interpreters of Garganega and one of the top estates in Soave. Its wines are mineral, structured and age-worthy, and its Monte Grande cru has been made since 1988. Decanter, Vinous and other critics have long praised the estate.
