With roots in Valpolicella Classica, Masi<\/span><\/a> produces and distributes Amarone and other premium wines inspired by the values of the Venetian territories.<\/p>\n

The use of native grapes and autochthonous methods, and the research and experimentation carried out by its Technical Group, make it one of the most famous producers of high-quality Italian wines in the world.<\/p>\n

The Masi story begins in 1772, when the Boscaini family carried out their first harvest in the prestigious vineyards in “Vajo dei Masi”, a valley in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica region. After more than 200 years of passionate winemaking the company is still in family hands, run by the sixth, seventh and eighth generations.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

A benchmark in the art of producing Amarone at a world level, Masi constantly innovates and passes on its expertise in the Appassimento method, which has been practised since the time of the Ancient Romans.<\/p>\n

For more than forty years, Masi has carried out an ambitious project of development for historic wineries, collaborating with:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Conti Serego Alighieri, descendants of the poet Dante and owners of the Valpolicella estate with the longest history and tradition<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Conti Bossi Fedrigotti, the prestigious brand from Trentino<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Canevel, producers of top-quality sparkling wines in Valdobbiadene.<\/p>\n

Masi also owns the organically run estates of Poderi del Bello Ovile in Tuscany and Masi Tupungato in Argentina.<\/p>\n

The Group makes wines that are recognised and appreciated in 140 countries. Masi is also a partner in groups and associations that promote high quality Italian products internationally, such as: Fondazione Altagamma, Comitato Leonardo, Istituto Grandi Marchi, and Amarone Families.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
