Detail information

Mašanović Winery is located in Virpazar, at the very heart of Montenegro’s renowned Crmnica wine region. This estate, rich in history, lies along the main Podgorica – Petrovac road, on the site where King Nikola’s royal wine cellar once stood. The vineyard itself is situated in Orahovsko Polje, the former summer residence of Ivan Crnojević, just a kilometre and a half from the winery.

The Mašanović family has nurtured a winemaking tradition for over ten generations. Today, the winery exclusively produces high-class red wines in limited series. Each bottle is a fusion of tradition and precision. The wines are aged in carefully selected French oak barrels, which are replaced every three years, while the old barrels are handcrafted into unique furniture.

Every detail is considered with care. Bottles are sourced from Italy, and corks from Portugal, ensuring the lasting freshness and quality of each wine.
