DO Montsant

Montsant is a DO (Denomination of Origin) for Catalan wines produced in the Montsant region, in the south-west of Catalonia.

The first Spanish wine Denominations of Origin were recognized in 1932 in the Wine Statute promulgated by the state government, among which was the DO Tarragona. Within the limits of the DO Tarragona, the “Falset subzone” was differentiated, which occupied the current territory of the DO Montsant. Finally, taking into account the specific characteristics of our wines and the importance of vine cultivation in the area, in 2001 the creation of the Denomination of Origin Montsant was approved, which started with 28 registered wineries, and today has already with 59.
