Montes Toscanini

Montes Toscanini winery is owned by the Toscanini family, which has a long history of winemaking in Canelones stretching back well over 100 years. It is, however, only in the most recent reincarnation, since 1979, that the third and fourth generation of the family restarted their wine production in this winery in Las Piedras. Focused on premium wines since the mid-1990s, the family has 45 hectares of vineyards, some of which are 35 years old and offer an interesting old vine quality to the wines.

About Montes Toscanini winery

Montes Toscanini was born in 1979 under the leadership of the third generation of the Toscanini family, which has a long history of winemaking in Uruguay. The family’s wine history in Uruguay actually begins at the end of the 19th century when the Toscanini family emigrated from Italy and settled in Canelones, making their first wine there in 1908.

Some seven decades later, Margot Toscanini de Montes and her brother bought a winery in Las Piedras and restarted the family tradition of making wine there, giving birth to Montes Toscanini winery in 1979.

Today the family winery is run by the fourth generation of the family, Cecilia, Juan and Leonardo, and in 1995 they converted the wine production to focus on premium and fine wines.
