Montsant ((:munsan)) is a Spanish ''Denominación de Origen'', DO ((カタルーニャ語、バレンシア語:Denominació d'Origen)) for wine located in the province of Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) and covers 12 municipalities. It was previously known as the Falset subzone of Tarragona (DO), and was created as a separate DO in the early 2000s. Regional approval came in 2001, and from 2002 wines were sold as Montsant rather than Tarragona.〔〔 〔(DO Regulations, published in DOGC no. 4414 dated 28-6-2005. ) In Catalan〕 Montsant takes its name from the Montsant mountains in the area.
