Montona Napa Valley Estate Wines

Montona, Italy
(now Motovun, Croatia)

Andretti Winery released its first ever estate wines under the Montona label in October 2003. We decided to name them Montona to commemorate the medieval village where Mario was born in 1940. That town and the life the Andrettis knew to that point was forever changed by the end of World War II. Montona, located on the Istrian peninsula, was ceded to Yugoslavia as part of the post-war political settlement, leaving the Andrettis trapped inside a Communist country. By 1948, the family decided to leave Montona knowing their lives would never amount to anything under Communist rule. Eventually, they relocated to a refugee camp in Lucca, which is a city in Tuscany, northwest of Florence. After waiting years for their visas, they set sail for the United States arriving in New York Harbor on June 16, 1955, settling in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

Today, Montona is part of Croatia and is now called Motovun. It hosts a film festival each year and still attracts tourists from all over the world who are drawn to its architectural and cultural charm and internationally-acclaimed truffles.

Our ultra-premium Montona wines include an estate Chardonnay, an estate Merlot, and a reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Because of their limited production, these wines are only available for sale directly to our wine club members and to visitors at our winery tasting room.

2005 Montona Estate Napa Valley Chardonnay $39.00

Our Estate Chardonnay’s eye catching Danish butter yellow color is the perfect lead into this supple and graceful wine that immediately focuses on the artistically balanced flavors of apples, pineapples, spices and toasted oak. It feels lush and rich in the mouth with good acidity and finishes long and creamy with vanillin undertones.

The deep indigo color immediately sets the tone for this luscious Merlot. The nose is filled with berry, slight olive and chocolate aromas followed by hints of spice. Similar flavors follow the aromas into a robust mouth feel that envelopes the palate, yet still exhibits the softness expected in a great merlot. Soft, ripe tannins enhance its lingering finish.
