The story
La Montina was established as the Bozza family's winemaking enterprise: its official founding dates to 1987 and was carried out by three brothers from the family — Vittorio, Gian Carlo and Alberto. The company developed around the historic residence Villa Baiana, gradually expanding its winery facilities, wine shop and a contemporary art museum/gallery serving the public and events.
Production philosophy
La Montina interprets wine as an expression of the land and of art: vineyard and cellar work follows the Traditional Method for Franciacorta DOCG, with attention to grape quality, to the transformation of the vineyard, and to an approach that combines production, hospitality and a cultural project.

Located on the northeastern edge of Franciacorta, the estate benefits from a microclimate influenced by the nearby Lake Iseo and a morainic amphitheatre. The vineyards are planted on hills with calcareous-loamy soils and exposures favorable to the area's traditional metodo classico sparkling wine production.
