Monti Winery

Monti Wine Estate: A Legacy in the Langhe Region

Monti Wine Estate began its journey in 1996 when Paolo Monti acquired a historic property in Monforte d’Alba, located in the renowned San Sebastiano area. Partnering with winemaker Roberto Gerbino, they crafted their first wine using ten French barriques, which was released two years later. Their shared philosophy emphasizes quality and precision, aiming for excellence in every bottle. The Langhe region is celebrated for its picturesque rolling hills and is home to the prestigious Barolo wines.

In 1980, Barolo received the prestigious Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin.

The Unique Terroir of Monti's Vineyards

The Monti vineyards span approximately 18 hectares across some of the finest locations in the Langhe, including Bricco San Pietro, Saint Martin, Bussia, Camie, and Snack. The region's diverse terrain features both gentle and steep slopes, with soils rich in marine and sedimentary origins dating back millions of years. The vineyards are primarily planted with traditional grape varieties such as Nebbiolo and Barbera, alongside Riesling, Merlot, and Chardonnay.

Grape Processing and Winemaking Techniques

At Monti, grapes are meticulously processed to create their acclaimed red and white wines. The state-of-the-art wine cellar features stainless steel fermentation tanks that regulate temperature and humidity for optimal results. To enhance complexity and aroma, wines are aged in French oak barriques, while medium-sized barrels are specifically used for refreshing Barolo wines. In 2011, Monti installed a large photovoltaic system, allowing the winery to generate its own energy, reduce costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
