Founded at the end of the 18th century, the Boscaini family have owned the Masi vineyards for six generations. Modern, pleasant, well-balanced and recognizable wines have earned Masi recognition for having "revolutionized the art of wine-making in the Veneto". Hugh Johnson has defined these wines as "a touchstone for Veronese oenology".
Wine Making:

Contact with the skins lasts 16 days for Corvina, 10 days for the other grapes. Fermentation lasts 20 days in total, and is followed by complete malolactic fermentation. 8 months in 60-90 hl.
