In the vibrant heart of Salento, where the sun kisses the earth and the sea tells stories of ancient navigators, lies the winery Montenero, a gem of modernity and winemaking passion. Here, among stretches of vineyards that fade into the horizon, Montenero has managed to create a perfect symphony between innovation and tradition, offering wines that reflect the richness and vitality of the Apulian land. The winery stands out for its excellence in production under the IGT Salento denomination, a label that guarantees quality and character.
The philosophy of Montenero is based on a modern and creative approach that enhances the natural predisposition of Salento to produce fruity and enveloping wines.

THE WINE
The Nerello Mascalese from Montenero is born from a blend of 60% Nerello Mascalese and 40% Nerello Cappuccio, located in the Grotta Paglia area of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the volcanic terraces of Etna at about 750 meters above sea level. The vineyards are situated on volcanic soil composed of volcanic sand and lapilli. Harvested by hand in crates during the first decade of October. Aging takes place in steel. A red characterized by a distinctive winey bouquet and on the palate it is sweet with a medium-long finish. Ideal paired with roasted meat, boiled dishes, and white meat.
THE COMPANY
Montenero is located at the foot of Mount Etna at 750 meters above sea level, founded by the Bertino family who, being owners of a small to medium-sized Nerello Mascalese farm, decided to embark on the path of winemaking, which was quite welcomed by the eldest son, who has been following the activity for over a year. Bertino Francesco (the grandfather of the current heir) started in 1955 by purchasing this vineyard for work purposes, working on it for almost 5 years to bring the vineyard into production and start marketing the product. The idea was quite good and profitable but due to little interest in regularizing the company, it was never activated, which fortunately changed with the arrival of his son Bertino Vincenzo, who dedicated himself to the matter, ensuring that the situation was regularized and starting to produce in a fiscal and systematic manner, taking over vineyards and regularizing products and achieving various brands over the years to further enhance the work done over the years.
