Rosé wine | Trevenezie, Veneto, Italy
Rosa dei Masi is an exceptional expression of Venetian winemaking, crafted by the renowned Masi Agricola estate. This wine is a testament to Masi's innovative spirit, applying their signature 'appassimento' technique—traditionally reserved for their powerful Amarone reds—to a selection of Refosco and Merlot grapes. By partially drying the grapes before vinification, Masi achieves a level of complexity and structure that is rare in a rosé.
In the glass, it reveals a delicate salmon-pink hue with luminous cherry reflections. The nose is immediately captivating, bursting with an intense, fragrant bouquet of fresh raspberries, wild cherries, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between its vibrant, refreshing acidity and a soft, elegant texture. The result is a dry, harmonious wine that feels both sophisticated and approachable.
Why choose this wine? Rosa dei Masi is a 'Supervenetian' rosé that brings the soul of Valpolicella to your glass. It is remarkably versatile, making it the perfect companion for a wide array of dishes. Its crisp acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an ideal partner for light antipasti, sushi, tuna carpaccio, or seafood dishes like grilled shrimp and scallops. It also shines beautifully alongside Mediterranean cuisine, such as summer vegetable salads, mild pasta dishes, or even pizza, making it a staple for warm evenings or festive aperitifs. Whether you are hosting a formal dinner or a relaxed picnic in the park, this wine offers elegance, consistency, and a true taste of Italian excellence.
Pleasant and refreshing! Raspberry and strawberry notes dance nicely, a bit simple, but delightful with grilled shrimp. Very enjoyable.
