Winery
L'Masi winery produces and distributes Amarone and other traditional wines typical of the territory of Venezie.
The use of autochthonous grapes and methods as well as the research and experimentation activity of its Technical Group, make it one of the most renowned Italian producers of excellent wines in the world.
Its history began in 1772, when Boscaini family bought valuable vineyards in the small valley called "Vaio dei Masi". From here takes its name the winery, still owned by the family, which, after more than 200 years of passionate work, actively operates today with the sixth and seventh generation.
Reference in the art of Amarone production in the world, Masi has constantly handed down and innovated the technique of drying the grapes, known since the times of the ancient Romans.

Description
Bonacosta Valpolicella è uno dei “classici” della grande tradizione veronese, interpretato dalla Cantina Vinicola Masi in stile contemporaneo. Il Valpolicella Classico, definito da Hemingway “cordiale come la casa di un fratello con cui si va d’accordo”, è qui proposto come esempio di eleganza fatta di semplicità e freschezza. È prodotto in Valpolicella Classica dalle tradizionali uve veronesi Corvina, Rondinella e Molinara. Un vino quotidiano, beverino ma elegante.
