✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1772 when the Boscaini family acquired premium vineyards in the small valley named 'Vaio dei Masi', Masi Agricola has grown into one of the most iconic and respected estates in Veneto's Valpolicella Classica zone. Managed for generations by the Boscaini family, the winery has become globally renowned for championing and modernizing the traditional appassimento method, transforming indigenous grapes such as Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara into rich, age-worthy masterpieces. In addition to creating the revolutionary 'Supervenetian' Campofiorin in the 1960s and collaborating with the historic Serego Alighieri counts, Masi is celebrated worldwide for its benchmark Amarone della Valpolicella expressions, including the prestigious Costasera, Mazzano, and Campolongo di Torbe.
