Masut Da Rive

Friuli reds and whites assessed by major international critics.

Masut da Rive operates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern Italian region known for crisp whites and structured reds shaped by Alpine and Mediterranean influences. The winery's portfolio centers on two principal expressions: Maurus Chardonnay, a white that demonstrates the region's capacity for mineral-driven complexity, and a pair of Cabernet-based reds—a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon and Sassirossi, a Cabernet and Merlot blend. These wines have been assessed by major international critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Maurus Chardonnay registers at 89.8 on the prestige scale, while both the Cabernet Sauvignon and Sassirossi sit at 89.0, indicating consistent quality across the range. Friuli's continental climate and limestone-rich soils produce wines of precision and aging potential—characteristics evident in Masut da Rive's approach to both white and red production.
