Monti’s History and Philosophy

History leaves us testimony on the first Abruzzo wine production, the sources come from Polybius , a Greek historian (205 and 123 BC), which testifies to the fact that since then, this area of the Teramo hills  was renowned for the quality of its wines and the Controguerra area is considered today one of the most interesting areas of wine production in Abruzzo, and this is where the great work that the Monti Company has been able to consistently carry out over time, through the definition and improvement of some viticultural and oenological practices, with which it managed to obtain products with strong characteristics and typicality from vines such as Passerina ,Pecorino , and the characteristic Montepulciano DOCG .

Beginning in the 60s was the father of the current entrepreneur  Emilia Monti , Elio Monti , together with his brother Antonio , starting from the initial supply exported to Germany, to the creation over time of a team, in which the family union has made the difference. Currently Emilia, with her mother Elide in the role of supervisor, has involved all the collaborators in this family adventure in feeling like a single team: by the winemaker Massimo Bartolini who for almost 15 years has contributed to the identification of the unmistakable Montepulciano “Style Monti ”, the  irreplaceable Antonella that to divide years, between administration and commercial, with its unmistakable cordiality and professionalism is a key part of the company.

Witness of a story that began in 1969 , and which will mark its 50th birthday in 2019 , has never stopped depicting its mascot on the label, which has become its logo: the faithful spinone dog, Baffo , as a testimony to its loyalty to tradition and above all of quality.
