ABOUT THIS WINE
Rosa Dei Masi is a rosé wine from Masi Agricola, a producer with a history in the Veneto region dating back to 1772. The wine is crafted using Merlot and Refosco grapes, primarily sourced from Valpolicella. A distinctive aspect of its production involves the potential use of the Appassimento technique, where a portion of the grapes are partially dried, a method Masi is well-known for. This approach aims to imbue the rosé with added complexity and a softer character, positioning it as a unique offering within the rosé category.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rosa Dei Masi is produced using Merlot and Refosco grapes from the Veneto region. A key technique employed by Masi Agricola is the partial drying of a portion of the grapes, known as Appassimento, which contributes to the wine's complexity and softness. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness. The wine may then be aged on its fine lees, potentially with bâtonnage, to enhance its texture and character. The winemaking process is guided by Masi's philosophy of respecting the terroir while incorporating innovative techniques.
