The story
The current estate continues the legacy of Cantina Francesco Montagna: the historic property dates back to the late 19th century, and the Bertè and Cordini families acquired the estate in the second half of the 20th century. In the years since, management has remained family-run and dedicated ranges have been developed, alongside a particular focus on the production of Traditional Method sparkling wines.
Production philosophy
Quality-focused approach from vineyard care to winemaking: a detailed oenological method to enhance varietal and terroir characteristics, with particular focus on Metodo Classico sparkling wines and the historic crus of Oltrepò Pavese.
