Description

Still organic red, 15% ABV, produced by Masi Agricola in the Uco Valley, Argentina. Blend: 70% Corvina, 30% Malbec, 0.75L bottle, 2020 vintage. A wine that combines Masi's Venetian tradition with the power of the Argentine terroir. The nose is characterized by intense aromas of berries and jam along with nuances of mint and cinnamon. A dark, impenetrable red with purple highlights at the rim. Very assertive on the palate, it then softens into almost sweet, ripe fruit aromas.

Masi is a leading producer of Amarone and has always interpreted the values of the Venetian regions with passion. Its history begins in 1772, the date of the Boscaini family's first harvest in the prized vineyards of ‘Vaio dei Masi’, a valley in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. Since then, Masi has expanded, little-by-little, with successive purchases in the best historical production areas of the Venetian regions.

Masi produces first-class wines primarily from native grape varieties, using traditional methods that embody sustainability and continuous technological innovation. With more than two hundred and fifty vintages behind it, Masi has been owned since its inception by the Boscaini family, which today runs the company with the sixth, seventh and eighth generations.
