The Masi wine estate is a veritable masterpiece in the heart of the iconic Amarone della Valpolicella Classico wine region in Italy. This beautiful property, rich in history, is famous for the production of the finest Italian wines. The name "Masi" comes from "Vaio dei Masi", a small valley purchased by the Boscaini family, owners of the estate, in the 19th century. Nestled among lush hills covered with verdant vineyards, the Masi estate spreads over hectares of fertile lands. The panoramic views of vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, under the radiant blue Italian sky, are breathtaking. Masi has gained worldwide acclaim for its innovative approach to viticulture. The house is particularly respected for its use of the traditional Amarone technique, a method of drying grapes known as appassimento. This technique allows the intensification of the grape's flavor and sugar content, giving the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico wine a rich and full-bodied taste that seduces wine lovers worldwide. The estate also employs the "double fermentation" method, which involves adding dried grapes to the wine for a second fermentation, giving Masi wines a depth and characteristic complexity. Masi is therefore an innovator while still retaining respect for tradition, a true testament to Italian viticultural excellence. In addition to Amarone, the Masi estate also produces Recioto, a traditional sweet red wine, and Ripasso, a robust red wine, as well as a remarkable range of white wines, all recognized for their exceptional quality. Visiting the Masi estate is more than just a wine tasting.
