History In 1957 Count Federico Bossi Fedrigotti, the father of the current owners of this historic estate, was the fi rst to have the idea that a Bordeaux blend wine would have great potential in the Trentino and so planted the required noble varieties on his Fojaneghe estate, on wide terraces overlooking the Adige river. The fi rst vintage of the eponymous wine was in 1961. It was regarded as revolutionary and unusual, and is still made today, fi fty years after its creation. The recent addition of a small percentage of Teroldego to the blend has been made by Masi to underline the wine’s Trentino origins.
