Masi Agricola is a wine producer in Veneto, northern Italy. It is famous for its Valpolicella wines and its particular, for its Amarone wines. Masi owns vineyards throughout the region, including in the Bardolino Classico and Soave Classico DOC zones as well as in Valpolicella since the 1950s. The Masi cellars are specifically geared toward the appassimento technique of drying grapes on bamboo racks. They are temperature- and humidity-controlled, with sufficient ventilation to allow for the drying of the grapes.
Aged in cherrywood casks, Corvina, Rondinella, and the Serego Alighieri clone of Molinara are classic Amarone varieties. Earthy and spiced with both fresh and dark chocolate–covered cherry, this upright and regal wine offers additional notes of dates and plum liqueur; armed with elegance and strength of character, it shows a whitepeppered depth.
