Hailing from the historic Veneto region, Masi's Selezione Privata represents the Boscaini family's ultimate dedication to the ancient art of appassimento. This prestigious selection highlights the native Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes, which are carefully dried on traditional bamboo racks during the winter months. This meticulous process concentrates the sugars, acids, and tannins, resulting in an incredibly rich, complex, and structured red wine. Steeped in Venetian winemaking heritage, this wine reflects the unique microclimate of the Valpolicella hills and the family's centuries-old legacy of crafting majestic, age-worthy masterpieces.
