The Bianco “Montej” is born in one of the most well-known and appreciated realities of lower Piedmont. The Villa Sparina estate extends over a total of about one hundred hectares, of which just over half are vineyards, mainly with Cortese and Barbera, the grapes that have always been cultivated in this territory. The suited soils and a particularly mild climate, influenced by the gentle breezes of the Ligurian Sea, offers ideal conditions for white grape varieties. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon vineyards are cultivated on the limestone soils of the hilly ridges at an altitude of about 250-300 meters above sea level and facing southwest. At the end of the harvest, the bunches are pressed and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of about 18 °C for a period of a couple of weeks. Finally, it ages for a few months in steel before being bottled for commercialization.
