Montonico
White wine grape · reported 2000–2008
Montonico is a white grape from Abruzzo in central Italy, traditionally used there for both dry table wines and sweet passito-style dessert wines. California's CDFA crush data are sparse, covering 2000 through 2008 with several gaps, confined to a single crush district and never exceeding about 13.5 tons crushed in a year. No bearing acreage was ever separately reported, and the atlas found no matching Foundation Plant Services or confirmed VIVC entry for California plantings under this name. Its presence here reads as a brief, minor specialty planting rather than an established category.
What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Montonico, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
