Modello Delle Venezie
This is a favorite of mine, having
sampled it at a wine dinner at Mi Piaci. Dry plum and cranberry flavours make this
inexpensive wine a sure choice.
History:
The history of Masi is the history of its vineyards around Verona, in the Venetian
region. The name derives from vaio dei Masi, the little valley acquired in the
late 18th century by the Boscaini family who retains ownership to this day. The
company has grown step by step through successive, and very careful purchases in the heart
of the viticultural areas of Veneto. Among the vineyards Masi manages is the most historic
estate in Valpolicella, which belongs to the noble Serego Alighieri family, descendants of
the poet Dante, since 1353. Masi is a family run company managed by Sandro Boscaini.
Served at Mi Piaci in Dallas. |
