Masi

Masi is an Italian wine producer based in the Veneto region, specializing in wines from the Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG appellation. The winery operates in the Valpolicella zone north of Verona, an area renowned for its distinctive winemaking technique using dried grapes.

Amarone della Valpolicella represents one of Italy's most distinctive wine styles, produced through the traditional appassimento method where grapes are dried for several months before fermentation. This ancient technique concentrates the sugars and flavors, resulting in powerful, full-bodied red wines with intense fruit character and notable alcohol levels. The DOCG classification requires specific grape varieties including Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, with Corvina serving as the primary component.

Masi works with traditional Valpolicella grape varieties, particularly Corvina, which forms the backbone of their Valpolicella blends. Their Amarone Classico Costasera represents the classic expression of this regional specialty, showcasing the concentrated fruit and complex character that emerges from the appassimento process.
