✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The historic Serego Alighieri estate in Valpolicella boasts a poetic lineage, having been purchased in 1353 by Pietro Alighieri, son of the supreme poet Dante Alighieri. Managed in collaboration with the Masi family, the estate produces 'Vaio Armaron,' a legendary Amarone believed by many to be the very vineyard from which the name 'Amarone' itself originated. This landmark red is crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where hand-selected Corvina, Rondinella, and the estate's unique clone of Molinara grapes are dried on bamboo racks during the winter months to concentrate their sugars and flavors. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a signature aging process that includes a brief period in cherry wood casks—a traditional practice of the estate—before finishing in oak, resulting in an incredibly complex, structured, and velvety wine rich with notes of dark cherries, dried plums, sweet spices, and cocoa.
🍾 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.
