Richly textured, with floral, citrus notes and a hint of white pepper through to a complex palate of toasty, vanilla and mineral notes and an enveloping, long finish.

Producer

The Cottini family business was founded by Carlo Cottini in 1925 and was dedicated to the cultivation of vines and fruit trees. However, it was during the 1950s when Carlo’s son Raffaello took over and focussed purely on viticulture, that the company took a crucial leap forward. In 1990, third generation Diego Cottini established Montezovo and became the principal winemaker at the winery. Le Civaie is their family-owned estate located in the picturesque region of Lugana in Northern Italy. The vineyards cover two different areas of the Lugana D.O., one in the municipality of Pozzolengo and the other in Desenzano. The entire estate is cultivated sustainably and is certified by ‘Biodiversity Friend’, SQNPI and Equalitas. The family philosophy is to fully showcase the characteristics and heritage of this distinctive terroir, which Diego undoubtedly achieves, producing stunning, mineral wines which are fresh, expressive, and full of finesse.
