  1. AppaxXimento Masi Expertise Gargagnago di Valpolicella data

  2. Masi Mission The production of high class wines, rooted in the values of the Venetian territory, using principally native grapes and traditional production methods, with constant technological updates, contributing to raise the image of Venetian wines to the highest level on an international basis

  3. History and Family Vajo dei Masi (“Masi little valley”): first vineyard acquired in Valpolicella in 1772 Owned by Boscaini family, vine-growers for more than two centuries The company, established in Valpolicella Classica, land of Amarone, expanded in the best winemaking Venetian areas Masi is world famous for being a specialist and an innovator Now exports its expertise outside the Venetian area, in Tuscany and Argentina

  4. Masi Technical Group The product of a unique idea: the single role of the winemaker is carried out by a complete team of experts in viticulture, enology and marketing The heart of the company in technical matters, production and research for all wineries Works in partnership with technical bodies and universities for research and development Objective: the rationalisation and updating of the viticultural and oenological heritage of the Venetian regions through production for the Group and communication The MTG is responsible for the technical progress and high quality of the company’s wines Cellars for applied Experimentation Technical Seminar Nasa System Experimental Vineyard

  5. The Vineyards Masi makes wines in the best viticultural areas of the Venetian regions, employing the most favourable hillside and foothill vineyards The company also has on-going projects in Argentina and Tuscany (the latter in collaboration with Conti Serego Alighieri) Vineyards are either wholly owned or under company control. Their management is entirely entrusted to Masi Technical Group through the Quality Grapes Project

  6. The Vineyards - the Venetian Area Veronese: vineyards in the “classico” zones, with suitable terrain and optimum orientation to the sun (640 hectares in production, of which 120 are part of the historic Conti Serego Alighieri estate) Friuli: 280 hectares in production growing traditional red varieties and Pinot Grigio Trentino: 40 hectares in production managed in partnership with Conti Bossi Fedrigotti, one of the biggest and finest vineyard holdings in the area San CiriacoValpolicella Colbaraca Soave La Vegrona Bardolino Fojaneghe Trentino Stra’ Del Milione Friuli Pol Bussolengo

  7. The Vineyards - Tuscany Together with Conti Serego Alighieri, Masi has acquired the “Poderi del Bello Ovile” estate in Cinigiano, on the edges of Montalcino This purchase marks the return of the Alighieri to Tuscany The estate comprises 70 hectares of vineyards in production The “Pian di Rota” estate in Montalcino (115 hectares, of which 45 are vineyards) is managed in partnership Poderi Del Bello Ovile Poderi Del Bello Ovile Poderi Del Bello Ovile Pian Di Rota

  8. The Vineyards - Argentina Masi has developed the “Argentinean nature, Veneto style” project at Tupungato in Mendoza Masi has taken the vines, winemaking techniques and oenological style typical of the Veneto to Argentina “Vigneti La Arboleda” comprises 140 hectares, of which 100 are already in production The „Corvina House“ The Cellar The Vineyard Reservorio

  9. Viticulture Quality begins in the vineyards. This is the simple but profound philosophy of Masi Agricola, which: uses targeted and professional vineyard practices marries the experience of tradition with modern research aims to maximise quality, personality and character in every vineyard Guyot Thinning of the Green Bunches

  10. Grapes Masi Agricola uses mostly indigenous grape varieties, native to each production area. Pictured here are some of those used in the appassimento process: Rondinella Corvina Molinara Oseleta Torrontes Malbec Refosco Carmenere Verduzzo Malbec

  11. Specialization:Making Wines Using The Appassimento Process The appassimento method of drying grapes on bamboo racks to concentrate aromas and tastes is traditional for the Venetiae area Appaxximento certifies Masi’s expertise in this technique in the XXI century All Masi wines made with this technique carry a certifying logo on the back label

  12. Appassimento: How and Why How it happens: Careful selection of the best bunches Bunches placed on bamboo racks or plateaux by expert hands Natural environment for Appassimento, assisted by NASA ( Natural Appassimento Super Assisted) when necessary Long drying period can last through the winter Effect produced: Loss of weight (30-40% average) Concentration of colour, sugars, aromas and tannins Noble rot affects particular grapes – botrytis produces glycerine and therefore smoothness Evolution of aromas from primary to complex

  13. The Various Uses Of Appassimento 1 2 3 1 - 100% Appassimento 2 - Double Fermentation 3 – the Blend (made from both fresh and semi-dried grapes)

  14. 1a - 100% Appassimento: Amarone Masi’s range of Amarone wines has enabled the company to develop its expertise in Appassimento Masi currently produces as many as five Amarone wines, the widest and most expert range on the international market This is why Masi is considered a world leader in the production of Amarone

  15. Amarone: a Unique Wine • Amarone is unique because of: • Its history: first recorded under the Ancient Romans (Reticum – Acinaticum – Recioto Amaro – Recioto Amarone – Amarone della Valpolicella) • Its area of production: Valpolicella Classica, between Verona and Lake Garda, where temperate climates prevail • Its use of indigenous grapes: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara e… Oseleta • Its production technique: grape appassimento for at least 100 days with a loss of 35-40% of original weight; botrytis attack • Its organoleptic characteristics: full-bodied, complex, velvety, well balanced - “a gentle giant”. High alcohol content and structure allow for long ageing potential

  16. Our Five Amarone Wines Costasera Masi: international benchmark for modern Amarone Riserva di Costasera Masi: special cuvée of Costasera. Using Oseleta in the blend makes it post-modern Mazzano Masi: “perhaps the most authentic and certainly the most prestigious vineyard for the Valpolicella speciality called Amarone” (Jancis Robinson) Campolongo di Torbe Masi: unique personality from volcanic soil Vaio Armaron Serego Alighieri: with character derived from a centuries old aristocratic tradition

  17. 1b - 100% Appassimento Wines: Recioto Has its origins in Reticum, a sweet wine produced in the time of the Ancient Romans using the Appassimento technique The term Recioto comes from: Recia = the uppermost part of a grape bunch Recius = cut down Racemus = grape bunch Just like Amarone, Recioto uses the same grape varieties (Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara) and the Appassimento technique Unlike Amarone, fermentation is halted using racking and temperature reduction

  18. Our Recioto Wines Amabile degli Angeli Masi: Traditional dessert wine from Valpolicella Acidity combined with sweetness makes it very drinkable Mezzanella Amandorlato Masi: Masi cru wine from an historic high hillside vineyard A real rarity because of its typical almond taste Casal dei Ronchi Serego Alighieri: Cru wine from an historic Serego Alighieri vineyard Very sweet wine with intense tastes of cherries

  19. 1c - 100% Appassimento Wines: the Unique Applications Masi has exported its expertise in Appassimento to other areas in the world where environmental climatic conditions are suitable 100% Appassimento is also used: In Italy, in Friuli (Grandarella) In Argentina, in the Tupungato valley, near Mendoza (Corbec)

  20. The Unique Applications Grandarella Masi: Supervenetian with semi-dried indigenous grapes (Refosco and Carmenere) Corbec Masi Tupungato: Combines the elegance of Verona’s Corvina grape with the strength of Argentinian Malbec

  21. 2 – Double Fermentation A unique interpretation of the Appassimento technique A variation on, and the perfection of, the original “ripasso” technique invented by Masi with Campofiorin in 1964 The technique increases the alcohol level of the wine and gives it greater colour and structure with complex and attractive aromas Used in the following wines: Campofiorin, Brolo di Campofiorin, Passo Doble e Valpolicella dell’Anniversario

  22. Double FermentationProcedure for Production

  23. Campofiorin and Brolo Di Campofiorin Campofiorin Masi: The original Supervenetian Red First vintage in 1964 Made with the double fermentation technique, in which Masi is a specialist and a pioneer Universally acknowledged as the product that “created a new category in Veronese wines” (B. Anderson) Brolo di Campofiorin Masi: A special cuvée of Campofiorin “brolo” is equivalent to the French “clos”: a walled vineyard Made with the same double fermentation technique

  24. The Other Double Fermentation Wines Passo Doble Masi Tupungato: Made in Argentina using the double fermentation technique with Malbec and a percentage of semi-dried Corvina grapes Valpolicella dell’Anniversario Serego Alighieri: Highly complex Valpolicella made with a percentage of semi-dried indigenous grapes

  25. 3 – The Blend: Masianco Grape varieties picked and vinified separately: Pinot Grigio is vinified immediately Verduzzo is given a light appassimento on plateaux for three weeks before fermentation in stainless steel and then in wood Masianco Masi is an assemblage of the two varieties: a white wine that combines the richness of the perfumes and aromas from Pinot Grigio with the structure of Verduzzo
