Description

This wine is a blend of semi-dried Corvina and Malbec grapes. The unrivalled and unmistakable qualities of Corvina Veronese, with its over-ripe cherry aroma and deep velvety structure, have balanced perfectly with Malbec's exuberant tannicity, thus making for a unique and fascinating aroma/taste profile.

Masi Agricola was founded in 1772 when the Boscaini family purchased the first vineyards in the small valley called Vaio dei Masi, from which the company takes its name. After 200 years, the family still manages the company and continues to produce labels of high quality.

A technical group of experts in the field, coordinated by Raffaele Boscaini, carries out research projects and experiments on traditional local grape varieties. Masi owns organic estates in Tuscany and Argentina and has been collaborating for over forty years with the regional companies Conti Serego Alighieri and Canevel and Conti Bossi Fedrigotti in Trentino.

Wine making The two grape varieties are harvested and vinified separately. The selected grape bunches are laid on specially constructed wooden trays, made in imitation of the Venetian "arelle", for 20 days. The grapes lose about 20% of their weight and gain in the concentration of sugars and aromas. This process is followed by gentle destemming and crushing.
