The Monte Rossa winery is one of the landmarks of Franciacorta and one of the most renowned sparkling wine producers in Italy. It was founded in 1972 by Paolo Rabotti who, in 1992, entrusted the entire management to his son Emanuele, who today, with great enthusiasm, follows the production in the cellar, constantly trying to introduce some innovations, especially in terms of innovation and technology.

An example in this regard is the new structure built in 2000, able to exploit the force of gravity, allowing to use the pumps as little as possible and protecting the wine from oxidation. The rest is done by the beautiful vineyards of Monte Rossa, characterized by a territory that has a truly perfect microclimate for the production of quality raw materials, since it is located in that hilly area that closes Lake Iseo, separating it from the plain.

The soils from which the Monte Rossa wines are born are morainic of glacial origin, capable of giving the wines the perfect dose of flavour and elegance. Another element that contributes to give balance over time to the sparkling wines in the cellar is, in addition to the use of the barrique for fermentation for about 60% of the must, the constant use of reserve wine, which is kept aside each year, thus allowing Franciacorta to be uniform over the years and to develop a very precise and recognizable. Softness, sapidity and balance are the elements that distinguish Franciacorta di Monte Rossa wines, which have now become an excellence in the Franciacorta wine scene. If you want to get to know Franciacorta, you must without a shadow of a doubt pass through Monte Rossa.
