The nose is powerful, like pistachio and dried fruit nougat. The sip is diversely complex with ripe red cherry, dried tropical fruit, raisin, caramel, roasted nuts and a spectrum of tree flowers. The nuances sound sweet, but the wine is dry.

Masi has grown through successive and very careful acquisitions, which were selected for the quality of their terrain and location as well as for their historical importance, beginning from the classico zones of Valpolicella, Bardolino and Soave. In the last ten years the company developed projects in other prestigious viticultural areas of the Venetian region and more recently outside Italy, in Argentina.
