Vinification

Massal is a cuvée from Denis Montanar, a small natural producer from Friuli, made in a minimal-intervention style. Merlot from Friuli-Venezia Giulia is fermented with native yeasts and very little sulfur. The wine stands out for a light, fresh style far from international Merlot readings.

Winery Story

Denis Montanar is a small independent winemaker from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, working in a natural-winemaking spirit. The estate emphasises minimal cellar intervention and respect for the terroir. The wines stand out for an honest, living character with a pronounced regional identity.

Vineyard Story

The vineyards lie in Friuli-Venezia Giulia — a region known for its cool climate and varied soils, from alluvial plains to the hills of the Colli Orientali. Cool nights preserve acidity and freshness in the fruit, giving the wine lightness and elegance. Merlot here unfolds quite differently than in warmer regions.
