Monte Zovo | Lugana

Monte Zovo can trace its origins back to 1925, when the Cottini family business was founded by Carlo Cottini and originally 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 Monte Zovo 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.
