✨ Technical Specifications
Masi's Modello Bianco is a vibrant tribute to the contemporary Venetian lifestyle, crafted by the historic Boscaini family whose winemaking legacy in the Veneto dates back to 1772. Sourced from selected vineyards across the fertile plains and rolling hills of the Delle Venezie DOC—a region spanning Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Trentino—this white blend is anchored by Pinot Grigio alongside other complementary local varieties. Vinified entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, primary fruit character, the wine avoids oak contact to emphasize crispness and purity. It captures the essence of the Venetian terroir, offering a bouquet of white flowers, crisp green apples, and a touch of wild honey, reflecting the breezy, sun-drenched landscape of northeastern Italy.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1772 when the Boscaini family harvested their first vineyard plots in the Vaio dei Masi valley, Masi Agricola stands as a foundational pillar of modern Venetian viticulture. Anchored in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the estate spans diverse microclimates and sedimentary limestone, marl, and volcanic soils across the Trevenezie, tempered by Lake Garda and alpine foothills. Masi revolutionized regional winemaking through the modern mastery of the ancient appassimento method—drying harvested bunches on traditional arelle bamboo racks—and pioneering the ripasso revival with their landmark 1964 Campofiorin. Governed by the Masi Technical Group and long stewarded by Sandro Boscaini, affectionately hailed as 'Mr. Amarone', the estate blends sustainability with exacting enology. Their benchmark expressions range from majestic, cru-designated Amarone della Valpolicella such as Costasera, Campolongo di Torbe, and Mazzano, to crisp Trevenezie whites like Masianco and vibrant sparkling wines, epitomizing classical Venetian refinement and textural depth.
