Why Cave selected it

A refined, Chardonnay-dominant Franciacorta that offers traditional-method complexity and precision at a fair price, making it a versatile alternative to Champagne.

About the wine

 

La Montina Franciacorta is made from 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Nero, sourced from vines aged between 6 and 25 years. After soft crushing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, followed by at least 26 months on lees to develop complexity. It undergoes a minimum of two months of bottle ageing before release, resulting in a refined, well-balanced Franciacorta. This elegant fizz will rival lots of top Champagne so is a steal at the price. Notes of patisserie and white peach its great with rich oilfy fish or white meats or just as an aperitif.

About La Montina

La Montina is a historic Franciacorta estate in Monticelli Brusati, benefiting from a unique microclimate influenced by Lago d’Iseo. Originally owned by the Montini family in 1620, it was revived in 1987 by the Bozza brothers. The estate includes the 17th-century Villa Baiana, now home to the Remo Bianco Museum of Contemporary Art. A founding member of the Consorzio Franciacorta, La Montina follows strict Metodo Classico regulations, ensuring the highest quality. Grapes are hand-harvested, and secondary fermentation occurs naturally in the bottle, with minimum ageing of 18 months for non-vintage, 30 months for vintage, and 60 months for Riserva. The 1992 Zonation Study further refined Franciacorta’s vineyard practices, reinforcing the region’s reputation for world-class sparkling wines. La Montina remains dedicated to tradition, sustainability, and meticulous winemaking.
