成立自1962年的現代化精品酒莊，屢獲國際大獎及高分評價；自1964年起，成爲該產區釀造頂級單一葡萄園佳釀的先驅者，旗艦級酒款亦只會在最佳年份推出。單一葡萄園佳釀，採用最先進設備嚴控品質，不銹鋼桶恆溫陳釀，再經18個月橡木桶蘊藏期及12個月入瓶演化，新派珍藏級赤霞珠紅酒。
A modern wine estate with outstanding ratings since 1962. Monsanto produces the highly ragarded single-vinyard wine and available from 1964 only in the best vintages. Born in the vineyard “Il Mulino”, the first harvest was in 1982 – was well-suited to the avant-garde and pioneristic spirit of the company. After the vinification in steel, it ages for 18 months in oak barriques and ages another year in glass.
