Montù (or Montuni) is an Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the Emilia region of central Italy.
While ampelographers believe that the grape is indigenous to the plains of the Po river, its numbers have been steadily declining with 1200 hectares (3000 acres) reported in 1990.

"[4] Over the years Montù has been known under a variety of synonyms including Bianchetto, Bianchiana, Bianchino, Montoncello, Montonego bianco, Montuni and Montuno.
