Montina is located in the northern heart of the Franciacorta area, where Lake Iseo’s summer and winter breezes most significantly shape a microclimatic zone ideal for cultivating the grapes used in the production of sparkling wines by this historic Franciacorta winery.
Proud of their heritage, the Bozza family practices viticulture with the utmost respect for the environment and landscape. The fruits of their work are then transformed in a state-of-the-art winery, where the grapes are processed with the family’s expert sparkling winemaking artistry.
The ability to make visitors and wine tourists feel at home, along with the presence of Villa Baiana, the conference center, and their art gallery, are additional reasons to explore the beauty of this unique cultural microcosm.
Montina thus embodies not only the family’s core values but also the unwavering commitment to quality that defines the region, offering a range of sparkling wines where one of the crown jewels is undoubtedly their Franciacorta Dosage Zero, produced in just 5,000 bottles.
A fine and delicate pérlage graces the glass with exceptional elegance, as does the bouquet, which reveals notes of yellow fruit, subtle hints of butter, and wild white flowers, captivating the taster further. On the palate, this sparkling wine confirms its impressive breadth, combining structure with harmonious balance.
Montina’s Franciacorta Dosage Zero encapsulates the meticulous quality for which the winery has been renowned across global markets for many years. This exceptional wine is ideal for lunch or dinner, paired with dishes where elegance must be the key to enhancing its harmony.
Company Profile
Montina was established in Monticelli Brusati, in the province of Brescia, just a few steps from Lake Iseo, the northern crown of Franciacorta. Here, the extraordinary microclimate, derived from the morphological conformation of the territory, provides the vineyards and olive trees with a perfect habitat for maturation and growth. In 1982, three of the Bozza brothers – Vittorio, Gian Carlo and Alberto – upheld the family’s winemaking tradition by purchasing the estate, which was originally built in 1620 by Benedetto Montini, ancestor of Pope Paul VI. From 1986 to 2007, an 8,000 m2 cellar was excavated into the hillside, where every year an average of 400,000 bottles is aged, preserving the ancient art of soft pressing using the “Torchio Verticale Marmonier”. Within the Montina estate, there are additional attractions such as the Wine Shop, Villa Baiana with its Congress Centre, and the first Contemporary Art Gallery in Franciacorta.
