Moncalisse

Moncalisse is a young, ambitious winery from Trentino, founded in 2016 by the sisters Julia and Karoline Walch, descendants of the renowned Elena Walch winegrowing family. The estate is located at the foot of Monte Calisio north of Trento, where, at around 600 metres above sea level, ideal conditions prevail for elegant and vibrant Trentodoc sparkling wines. The 12 hectares of vineyards are dedicated to the traditional grape varieties used in Metodo Classico. The altitude, poor mineral soils and pronounced day–night temperature differences give the base wines remarkable freshness, finesse and aromatic clarity. Sustainability, nature-friendly vineyard management and meticulous canopy and fruit work are key pillars of the Moncalisse philosophy. In the cellar, the team follows the traditional bottle-fermentation method with modern precision and extended lees ageing. The wines of Moncalisse are characterised by a taut structure, precise mousse and pronounced minerality. The aim of this young estate is to express the unique Monte Calisio terroir in the glass and craft sparkling wines with elegance, depth and ageing potential. With its clear stylistic vision and commitment to the highest quality, Moncalisse positions itself as one of the most exciting new voices in Trentodoc.
