Rosa dei Masi Rosato 2023

Description

Tre Venezie IGT still rosé, 12% ABV, produced by Masi Agricola. 100% Merlot, 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A rosé born from Masi's passion for the Venetian regions, with Merlot grapes sourced from vineyards in the upper Valpolicella. Spring 2023 was characterized by rainfall in line with historical values and slightly higher temperatures. The harvest in Valpolicella began in the first ten days of September with healthy, uniform, and ripe grapes. Very gentle pressing of the still-cold grapes in the presence of dry ice. The must was floated in tanks, selected yeasts were added, and fermentation took place between 13 and 16°C. Aged in stainless steel on the fine lees with weekly bâtonnage for approximately 60 days. Pale pink in color with onion skin highlights. Intense floral aromas emerge on the nose, anticipating a fresh and pleasant palate, with hints of red fruit and distinct notes of raspberry. Dry finish supported by a pleasant acidity.

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.

Origin	Upper Valpolicella vineyards. The Saline vineyard is situated in the north-eastern part of the commune of Negrar between 700 and 720 m a.s.l. with south-westerly exposure
Climate	Spring 2023 was characterised overall by rainfall that was in line with historical values and slightly higher temperatures. The vegetative resumption was early compared to the previous year, but the drops in temperature due to the unstable spring-summer weather led to the phenological advance being completely reabsorbed, causing a slight delay compared to the previous year. The 2023 summer season recorded average rainfall amounts and in some locations even higher. The summer rains contributed to a luxuriant development of the vegetative part and its fruit. From mid-August onwards, there was an exceptional increase in temperature at all sites, with maximum daytime temperatures of over 30-35 °C. Under these conditions, the vine slowed down its metabolic activity. The harvest in Valpolicella began in the first ten days of September with healthy, uniform and ripe grapes.
