✨ wine.spec_sheet
Masi Agricola, managed by the Boscaini family for generations, is a benchmark producer in the Veneto region, renowned for preserving historic winemaking traditions while pioneering innovative techniques. While 'Marraus' represents a highly specific or localized expression within Masi's portfolio of Venetian red wines, it draws upon the rich heritage of the region's indigenous grape varieties, primarily Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. The terroir of Veneto, influenced by the cooling breezes of Lake Garda and the mineral-rich soils of the foothill vineyards, imparts a signature freshness and structural elegance to the wine. Masi's expertise in the appassimento technique—drying grapes on bamboo racks to concentrate aromas and flavors—often influences their red winemaking philosophy, resulting in a profile defined by ripe dark cherry, subtle spice, and a velvety texture that honors centuries of Venetian viticultural history.
