OUR
INSPIRATION
RISES FROM THE EARTH
AND SOARS
INTO THOUGHT
We listen to the essence of the land to give it form — a vision, a flavor, a tradition. A commitment that, since 1925, has been binding the Cottini family to a lifelong mission: to return, in every glass, the most authentic character of places and grape varieties that are simply extraordinary.
EXPERIENCE SUSTAINABILTY
Today, Diego and his wife Annalberta carry
on the family tradition alongside their sons, Michele and Mattia — the fourth generation.
What unites them is a shared passion for
craftsmanship and a steadfast desire to
safeguard the land they love, preserving
it intact for the community.
“
Montezovo was born from small
things, crafted with a big heart.
The same heart that bound my
grandfather and father to the land,
alongside the people who have loved,
lived, and will continue to live
in these places. Tomorrow.

FOUR GENERATIONS,
ONE GREAT HARMONY
Ours is a family story. It begun in 1925, when Carlo Cottini founded his farming estate. It continued with his son Raffaello, who specialized in winemaking. And it reached its fullest expression with Diego Cottini, who found in the elevation of the terroir the true reason for Montezovo.
