Wow.
I am honestly having a hard time finding words…
I have loved these wines from the first moment I tasted them many years ago and my heart is completely full with excitement to have the opportunity of working together with them for the USA.

The wines and work of are like no other Friulian wine I’ve ever had.
They represent their land —purely—honestly— and confidently.
There is so much soul in their bottlings the memory of them can literally haunt you, remaining in your heart and mind until you have the chance to drink them again.

Denis took over their 4th generation winery at age 19 returning to nature through his land and now his son Carlo is following the same path.
Their vineyards have been bio since 1992 (1996 officially) their land is a living land full of vitality and diversity without compromise, (never any use of chemicals or manipulations).

The Montanar’s produce:
•6.16.9.19.10.1.12.13
Sandrigo Bianco (Tocai Friulano),
•UIS Blancis Dodòn,
•Verduzzo di Scodovacca
•Rosé Refosco
•Refosco dal Peduncolo Scodovacca
•Merlot Dodòn
•UIS Neris Dodòn
•Toy Wine (frizzante)
•Dente di Cavallo (beer from their grains)
& an incredible Aceto di Vino | Vin Aci.
Each a solid and pure expression of honesty & integrity from them as humans and caregivers of their land that can be produced by their hands.

Their wines will arrive across the USA with Terrell Wines

Grazie e Salute!

When Sangiovese’s voice is allowed to speak it is beautiful. Never masked by oak, never pumped up with int’l varieties, never polluted with chemicals/colorings/synthetic yeasts/SO2... just good, pure, authentic Sangiovese the way has worked since 1071.
Thank you and for making & keeping the classics cool.

The paths of history lead us through life and create paths for the future.
