In an old monastery estate,
Tenuta Montelio is located on the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, where vines were cultivated in the 13th century. In 1802, Angelo Domenico Mazza bought his first field, and in 1848, started to produce their wine.
Montelio means mountain of the Sun (from Greek Helios). The total area of winery is 78 hectares. The vines are cultivated on the hills, with favorable exposure.
From the Montelio vineyard, you can reach the historic center, where you can admire undergrounds dating back from the second half of 1600. The most characteristic spot of the cellar is the Infernot, an ancient ice room in the monastery where old labels and bottles are kept. Mazza collaborated with an innovative French winemaker, at the forefront of his time. The heirs succeed one another over time, and business secrets are passed from generations, without neglecting innovation. The Montelio winery cultivates and produces wines using products with a low environmental impact. In addition, more than 230 bird nests can be found throughout the vineyards, which help preserve nature.
