Montina

A fantastic strip of land, enclosed between Lake Iseo and the morainic amphitheater of Franciacorta: here, more precisely in Monticelli Brusati, is located the Montina winery, a production reality specialized in the production of Lombard bubbles .The origins of this winery are very old, and its construction is due to Benedetto Montini, ancestor of Pope Paul VI, who, in 1620, began the construction of the main body of what is now the winery, which then took a more modern shape in recent times, thanks to the efforts of the Bozza brothers, current owners. La Montina is a welcoming, open reality, always ready to embark on new paths to grow and to be competitive in a market that is bigger every day.

Montina's vineyards cover an area of about 72 hectares, spread across no less than 7 different communes within the Franciacorta DOCG. The profile of the plots is almost always hilly, and the terroir is characterized by a subsoil in which there is a strong presence of limestone, silt and clay. In the vineyard, yields are kept around 100 quintals per hectare, and great attention is paid to each individual terroir; this approach has led, since 1992, to an interesting zoning study that can precisely define the climatic, geographic and morphological characteristics of each parcel, making the most of the combination of grape variety and growing environment. Between the rows, the typical grapes of this area, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are grown, bred with great care, taking care to respect the nature surrounding the vineyards and to obtain grapes saturated with scents and aromas.

Every harvest, from the walls of Montina, a little less than 10 labels come out, all Metodo Classico, in which the DOCG of Franciacorta is vivisected, parcel by parcel, giving products of undoubted quality, which hold the memories of labors, sacrifices, projects and great achievements. Among the various labels that deserve a closer look, the Riserva "Baiana," the Brut Millesimato and the Rosé Extra Brut Millesimato are those that, more than others, allow one to gain a precise stylistic vision of the Montina philosophy.
