Now Viewing: Masi Agricola S.p.A. (Italy)
Masi vineyards in the Venetian area are located only in the historic and most prestigious viticultural zones. The recent purchase of the "Poderi del Bello Ovile" estate (about 75 hectares) in the Orcia Valley on the edges of Montalcino marks the return of the Alighieri family to Tuscany. Masi technicians have helped in the planting of local grape varieties (Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino) to make two Supertuscan wines, planned to begin with the 2007 vintage. Masi Tupungato: Argentinian soul, Venetian style. Today, winegrowing techniques originating from the Veneto, as well as the type of wines produced there, can be exported and transplanted wherever climatic and cultural conditions allow. Masi chose the Tupungato valley, located in Argentina's Mendoza region on the strength of this belief. There, the "Vigneti La Arboleda" winery grows not only Malbec, Argentina's most famous grape, but also Veronese-based varietals such as Corvina and Corvinone.
