MONTE ZOVO

For four generations, The Cottini family has been cultivating knowledge that has strong roots.
It is a story of determination and passion, which inspires every activity. The most valuable heritage is, always, experience.

The wine history of the Cottini family began in the second decade of 1900. In 1925, Carlo Cottini founded the first family farm. In recent years the company, in addition to the vineyards, started to cultivate other types of fruit such as cherries, plums, apricots and olives. He also raised cattle.

The important leap towards viticulture is up to the second and third generation, which specialized in the production of wine. Raffaello (Carlo’s son) built his winery in Fumane, in Valpolicella, where the family has its roots. In 1965 he bought the Caprino Veronese estate, where the winery where the modern winery is located still today. Diego Cottini, continues the family tradition by purchasing new land in Eastern Valpolicella and in Lugana, bringing the company on international markets and making it become the important productive reality it is today.
