✨ wine.spec_sheet
Masi's Lunatio is a luminous expression of the Lugana DOC, crafted entirely from the indigenous Turbiana (Trebbiano di Lugana) grape grown on the fertile, clay-rich southern shores of Lake Garda. The name 'Lunatio' pays homage to the ancient agricultural calendar and the lunar phases that traditionally guided winegrowers in the vineyard. Masi produces this wine using certified organic farming practices, respecting the delicate lakeside ecosystem. Fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine preserves the pure, vibrant essence of the Turbiana grape, resulting in a beautifully structured white characterized by intense floral aromas, bright citrus notes, pineapple, and a distinctive, sapid mineral finish derived from the region's ancient glacial soils.

Still family-owned and led by Sandro Boscaini, the estate is globally renowned for its expertise in the traditional Appassimento technique, where grapes are dried on bamboo racks to concentrate flavors. Masi is celebrated for pioneering the double-fermentation method behind its iconic Campofiorin, as well as crafting legendary Amarone della Valpolicella expressions like Costasera, Mazzano, and Campolongo di Torbe. Their portfolio beautifully bridges heritage and innovation, showcasing the diverse terroirs of Veneto, Friuli, and beyond through expressive red, white, and rosé wines.
