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.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"monte-zovo-lugana-le-civaie-terralbe","title":"Monte Zovo Lugana Le Civaie 'Terralbe' 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Monte Zovo Le Civaie 'Terralbe' Lugana is a white wine made from the Turbiana grape variety, which flourishes in the unique microclimate of the Lugana DOC thanks to its proximity to Lake Garda. The grapes for 'Terralbe' come from two different plots within the Lugana DOC, which results in a wine of complexity and balance. The name is derived from the fusion of terra (land) and alba (sunrise) and translate as 'the lands of the colour of dawn'. This is a fresh, mineral-driven wine showing tropical and citrus notes of bergamot complemented by distinctive flinty notes through to a precise and beautifully balanced palate.

At the winery, the Turbiana grapes were part fermented in stainless-steel and part-fermentated in oak barriques. The wine was aged on its fine lees for 18 months in barriques, followed by six months in stainless steel and a further six months bottle ageing prior to release. The result is a richly textured white wine, 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.
