La Montina's wines are extremely fine and fresh and posess an elegance which allows favourable comparison with many champagnes. They have attracted the attention of the press, worldwide.

Following renovations carried out by the Bozza family in the late Eighties, the ancient stones and decorations of these buildings have been restored to their original splendour. Tenuta Montina is first mentioned in historical documents in 1620, when it was owned by a Valsabbia family headed by Benedetto Montini, ancestor of Pope Paul VI. The hills behind are named after him as well as the winery itself.
The winery is situated in the shelter of a natural moraine amphitheatre, where the road ends in the woods along the Valle Mugnina, the furthermost strip of land in the municipality of Monticelli Brusati. The best expression of Franciacorta can be found here, in this gentle peaceful landscape rich in romantic history.
The prestigious Franciacorta DOCG and both red and white Terre di Franciacorta (curtefranca) DOC wines are made in the winery buildings which perfectly respect the area’s natural vocation for winemaking.
The buildings, which were dug out of the hillside, cover a surface area of about 4,200 m². In full respect for the environment vineyards have been replanted over the tunnels. This is a natural way to ensure a minimal temperature variation: the temperature is constantly 10-12°C all year round, the ideal temperature for ripening Franciacorta grapes.
