The name Massimago comes from the Latin Maximum Agium and means maximum well-being. It's a young, female-run business headed by Camilla Rossi Chauvenet, who has been putting her own stamp on it since 2003, setting the stage for a truly extraordinary qualitative renaissance.
The'winery is located in Mezzane, in an area of Valpolicella that is somewhat wilder than others, nestled in the valley of the same name, capable of creating an ideal microclimate for the cultivation of vines.
Since the second half of the'nineteenth century, this interesting production reality has belonged to the Cracco family, custodian of local traditions, now declined in an innovative way thanks to the drive of Camilla, a true self-made woman who with grit and enthusiasm has believed in the potential of this extraordinary territory, capable of producing Amaroni of rare elegance. A production made of few bottles, selected grapes, precise hands, rigor and patience and a philosophy of viticulture in full respect of the'environment.
Description
Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore "Marchesa Mariabella" originates from a blend of red grapes typical of the Veneto region, Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. These three varieties are grown by Massimago using the guyot system in vineyards located near Mezzane di Sotto, about 180 meters above sea level. It is a Valpolicella Ripasso that brings immediacy and authenticity to the glass, which are the strengths of this label signed Massimago, in which the production philosophy of Camilla Rossi Chauvenet shines. Witty label entitled: "Italian Facebook" by Franco Chiani. The brainchild of Camilla Rossi-Chauvenet and Franco Chiani.
