Dal Maso

Veneto sparkling and still wines from Durella, Merlot, and Tai Rosso.

Dal Maso works the Colli Berici and Lessini zones of Veneto, in the foothills north of Verona. The winery's portfolio centers on regional varieties—Durella, Tai Rosso, and Merlot—each rooted in the limestone and volcanic soils that define northeastern Italy's wine character. The Durello Lessini Riserva Pas Dosé, a bone-dry sparkling wine made from Durella grapes, stands as the flagship expression, its mineral tension and fine mousse reflecting the cool-climate precision of the Lessini hills. The still wines—Casara Roveri Merlot and Colpizzarda Tai Rosso, both from the Colli Berici appellation—show the depth and structure that these indigenous and international varieties achieve in Veneto's continental climate. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast have rated Dal Maso's releases, anchoring the winery within the critical conversation around northern Italian wine. The house style favors clarity and balance over extraction, letting terroir and varietal character speak directly.
