Lombardy is one of the richest region in Italy for its vineyards, where some among the best wines in the world are produced. From a geographical point of view the production areas are completely different, and they are named: Franciacorta, a very famous area for the sparkling wines production with the so called method champenois, the Oltrepo Pavese, famous for its Barbera and Croatina vineyards, but also for the Pinot Noir and for the well-known valley of Riesling. Valtellina area is very well-known thanks to Sforzato wine and for Chiavennasca as well, which is a Nebbiolo clone, used for the production of great aging wines. Increasingly popular in the last few years is the Garda area with the Lugana DOC wine, with its famous wineries Ca dei Frati and Ca Maiol. Last but not the least we find the smaller wine areas of Capriano del Colle and Terre Larian between the cities Brianza and Bergamo.


Monte Rossa is one of the most famous wineries in Franciacorta, founded in 1972 by entrepreneur Paul Rabotti who immediately sensed the need to invest in the "metodo classico" sparkling Franciacorta wine production and research rather than in still wines. Monte Rossa vineyards are located in several areas of the Franciacorta and all cru are vinified separately to allow the purest expression of each cru and then look for the right balance of the cuvee in the cellar. The land on which lie the vineyards of Monte Rossa are moraine-glacial origin and are stuck in the hills of an "amphitheater" which is the Franciacorta that protects vineyards. Today the company is led by Emanuele Rabotti that made Monte Rossa Franciacorta one of the most famous wineries and the recognizable style. How can we forget the prestigious Monte Rossa Cabochon elegant Monte Rossa Prima Cuvèe today Monte Rossa produces around 500,000 bottles a year and manages approximately 70 hectares of vineyard.
