✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Masi's Osar is an extraordinary testament to ampelographic rescue and winemaking audacity. The name itself, meaning 'to dare' in the local Venetian dialect, perfectly captures the spirit of this unique red. In the 1980s, Masi's technical team rediscovered Oseleta, an ancient, low-yielding Veronese grape variety that had been virtually abandoned after the phylloxera epidemic due to its tiny, tightly packed bunches and low juice yield. Recognizing its incredible potential for structure, color, and acidity, Masi revived the variety in the clay-limestone soils of the Veneto region. Osar is a rare, single-varietal expression of Oseleta, showcasing the grape's signature thick skins, intense pigment, and powerful tannic backbone. Aged in French oak barriques to tame its wild nature, this wine bridges the gap between Veneto's forgotten viticultural history and contemporary bold red winemaking, offering a complex profile of dark forest fruits, bitter cocoa, and mineral depth.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Masi Agricola blev grundlagt i 1772, da Boscaini-familien opkøbte førsteklasses vinmarker i den lille dal 'Vaio dei Masi', og vinhuset har siden udviklet sig til en af de mest ikoniske og respekterede producenter i Valpolicella Classica-zonen i Veneto. Vingården er blevet drevet gennem generationer af familien Boscaini og har opnået verdensomspændende anerkendelse for at videreudvikle og modernisere den traditionelle appassimento-metode. Her forvandles lokale druesorter som Corvina, Rondinella og Molinara til fyldige og lagringsværdige mesterværker. Ud over at have skabt den revolutionerende 'Supervenetianer' Campofiorin i 1960'erne samt det historiske samarbejde med Serego Alighieri-greverne, er Masi verdenskendt for sine skoledannende Amarone della Valpolicella-fortolkninger, herunder de prestigefyldte Costasera, Mazzano og Campolongo di Torbe.
