A ""Supervenetian"" white wine from one of Italy's great wineries, the Masi Masianco Pinot Grigio is a fresh white wine that combines Pinot Grigio delle Venezie with the Appassimento technique, Masi's speciality.
The Masi Masianco Pinot Grigio delle Venezie IGT is made using a unique blend of freshly-picked and semi-dried grapes. The richness of the nose and the aromas of Pinot Grigio delle Venezie grapes combine happily with the structure conferred by lightly dried, indigenous Verduzzo grapes. A beautiful golden yellow with greenish reflections in the glass. Aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers and honey. Refreshing flavors of lemons with peach and apricot fruitiness and attractive hints of honey. Excellent aperitif. Good with antipasti, fish and grilled white meat. Serve chilled.
With roots in Valpolicella Classica, Masi produces and distributes Amarone and other premium wines inspired by the values of the Venetian territories. The use of native grapes and autochthonous methods, and the research and experimentation carried out by its Technical Group, make it one of the most famous producers of high-quality Italian wines in the world. The Masi story began in 1772, when the Boscaini family acquired prestigious vineyards in the small valley called “Vaio dei Masi”, which is the origin of the company’s name. After more than 200 years of passionate winemaking the company is still in family hands, run by the sixth and seventh generations. A benchmark in the art of producing Amarone at a world level, Masi constantly innovates and passes on its expertise in the Appassimento method, which has been practised since the time of the Ancient Romans.
