✨ wine.spec_sheet
Masi's Levarie is a classic expression of Soave Classico, crafted from the traditional Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grape varieties grown in the historic hillside vineyards of the Veneto region. The name Levarie refers to the east-facing slopes where the morning sun rises (levarsi in Italian), gently warming the vines and preserving the grapes' delicate aromatics and crisp acidity. Rooted in volcanic and limestone soils, this wine undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with no oak aging, ensuring a pure, vibrant showcase of the terroir. It captures the essence of the region's winemaking heritage, offering a refreshing profile defined by white flowers, green apple, and a characteristic mineral finish.
