In 1959, Carlo Boatti, representing the third generation of winegrowers, now assisted by his children Pierangelo and Laura, gave the company further development and modernised it by acquiring new land in the municipalities of Casteggio, Redavalle and Pietra de' Giorgi. He redesigned the varietal structure with the introduction of new grape varieties, implemented new cellar structures, and built a modern wine-making, bottling and storage plant. The company is constantly evolving according to current market requirements.
Monsupello is located in the first hilly central area of Oltrepo Pavese at 160 metres above sea level -45° parallel. The vines cultivated are: Barbera, Croatina, Uva Rara, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, Riesling Italico, Riesling Renano, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Moscato. The soils: calcareous tufaceous with Pliocene marl, the exceptional microclimate and excellent exposure create optimal conditions for the production of top quality grapes. Traditional winemaking for reds and pneumatic winemaking for whites: temperature-controlled fermentation in modern stainless steel tanks, autoclaves and barriques.
Monsupello has been awarded 112 gold medals in wine competitions. Monsupello Brut Metodo Classico was awarded at the V Banco di Assaggio in Torgiano 1985 and won the Douja d'Or Oscar in Asti in 1993.
Its wines are present in highly qualified restaurants both in Italy and abroad and in highly professional wine shops. Read more

Denomination | VSQ |
Size | 0,75 l |
Alcohol content | 13.0% by volume |
Grape varieties | 90% Pinot Nero, 10% Chardonnay |
Country | Italy |
Region | Lombardy |
Vendor | Monsupello |
Origin | Municipalities of Torricella Verzate and Oliva Chalks - Exposure: South-East. |
Soil composition | Argillaceous-Limestone. |
Cultivation system | Guyot dry pruning is carried out from the end of November, resulting in a number of 8-9 buds per vine. From May, superfluous shoots are removed and main shoots are tied off; these are basic operations to maintain a good vegetative and productive balance of the plant, especially in the case of young vines |
Plants per hectare | 4,500. |
Yield per hectare | 9,000. |
Harvest | At the beginning of August, after veraison, a light thinning of the grapes is carried out in order to better distribute the vine production on the shoots closest to the stump and to avoid bunch clusters (the main cause of grey mould attack in wet years). |
Fermentation temperature | Controlled temperature of 18° C |
Fermentation | After a period of ageing in steel, the cuvè is made, which, after re-fermentation in the bottle, will give the Nature met. Classic. |
Production technique | White vinification begins with the soft pressing of the whole grapes, which leads to the separation of the must from the marc. In different containers, the flower must (i.e. the first 50 per cent of the pressing liquid, which is more fruity, acidic and fine) is separated from the second-pressing must. The first-pressing must, clarified and decanted after about a day, is fermented in steel tanks. |
Aging | The cuvè of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay endures a proteic stabilization and filtration in the 'draught', it is placed in champagnotte bottles together with a liqueur de tirage, consisting of wine, sugar and selected yeasts. The bottles are corked with bidule and crown cork and stacked in the cellar to re-ferment at a constant temperature of 12°C. |
