Monù, also known as Montù or Montuni, is a native white grape variety from Emilia-Romagna, primarily cultivated in the provinces of Bologna, Modena, and Ravenna. The name Montù derives from the Bolognese dialect, meaning “a lot of grapes,” reflecting its high-yielding nature. It is also known by various synonyms, including Bianchina, Bianchetto, and Montuno, and was first recorded in the 1879 Ampelographic Bulletin of the Ministry of Agriculture under the name Montoncello. The origin of Montù is uncertain; some suggest it might be of Spanish origin, while others propose a Marche connection due to its resemblance to the Marchigiano Montonico grape.

Montù does not have specific soil and climate requirements, although it prefers well-ventilated and cool clay-limestone soils and has a high and consistent yield. The Montù grape is included in the ampelographic composition of the Reno DOC, and its wines can be produced in still (Tranquillo), slightly sparkling (Vivace), and fully sparkling (Frizzante) versions, ranging from Dry (Secco) to Slightly Sweet (Abboccato), Semi-Sweet (Amabile), and Sweet (Dolce) styles.

The Montù grape clusters are medium-sized, ranging from compact to moderately compact, with a cylindrical or conical shape, often with wings. The berries are medium, spherical, with a thick, firm, and highly pruinose skin, in a yellow-green hue. Montù wines, when vinified in purity, exhibit a straw-yellow color and are characterized by fruity, fresh, savory, and dry notes, with a good body and harmonious profile. They pair well throughout the meal but are particularly ideal with fish dishes, grilled meats, lightly aged cheeses, and cured meats. The recommended serving temperature is between 12°C and 14°C (54°F to 57°F).
