A unique Garganega where time has transformed the sharp edges of youth into an elegant, mature complexity. The real difference lies in the wait: while the classic version focuses on tension and crisp fruit, the Collection has rested for an extended period on its lees in stainless steel tanks. This allows the Garganega to evolve, bringing out notes of hydrocarbons, candied yellow fruit, and a much broader, silkier structure.

It is a wine that is in no rush; the signature volcanic acidity of Gambellara hasn't disappeared, but has instead merged with a density that coats the palate, making it less "vertical" and decidedly more profound and meditative. It feels like a wine that has traveled and has infinite stories to tell—it retains that same saline and territorial soul, yet expresses it with an elegance and a persistence that seems never-ending. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to discover just how far this grape variety can go when given the freedom to age with style.

From the producer

Menti

The story of the Menti family unfolds across a century and a half of history, beginning in the late 19th century when the founder, Giovanni, settled in Gambellara, laying the foundations for a tradition deeply rooted in volcanic soils. A pivotal turning point came in 1964, the year Antonio was joined by a young Giovanni (known as Gianni), who would go on to define an era by completing an impressive 51 harvests through 2014.

Driven by Stefano’s innovative spirit, the new millennium brought a profound transformation: 2002 marked the beginning of a return to sustainable viticulture, a journey that culminated in 2010 with the practical introduction of biodynamic methods and in 2011 with the achievement of official organic certification. These milestones represent the perfect synthesis of past heritage and a vision of winemaking projected toward the future.
