The Buonamico Estate is located southwest of Montecarlo in the Cercatoja area and spans 100 hectares, with 48 of them dedicated to specialty vineyards. The vineyard was formed in the early 1960s by a group of Turin restaurateurs who wanted to stock their restaurant with Montecarlo wines.
The Fontana Family owns the Estate now, and it has extended its vines and wine cellar. “Buonamico” has grown to become one of Montecarlo’s major wine producers while maintaining the key qualities of a traditional winemaking method.

Awarded Gold by Business News Japan
White vinification of red grapes and sparkling wine vinification according to the Charmat method: the sparkling wine vinification process is carried out in an autoclave at a constantly monitored temperature, where the selected yeasts create an optimal fermentation. Once the fermentation – approximately six months – has been completed, the product is immediately filtered in order to preserve its natural freshness. The final bottling stage is carried out after the product has been left to age for several weeks in an autoclave. The wine continues its ageing in the bottle for 60 days.
