The name derives from “vaio dei Masi”, the little valley acquired in the late 18th century by the Boscaini family which retains ownership to this day.
The company has grown step by step through successive, and very careful, purchases in the best viticultural areas of the Veneto.

Among the vineyards which Masi manages is the most historic estate in Valpolicella, which has belonged to the noble Serego Alighieri family, descendants of the poet Dante, since 1353.
Masi is still a family run company managed by Sandro Boscaini. The experts of Masi Technical Group have been involved in ongoing research on the most significant aspects of regional viticulture and enology.

Masi produces exclusively premium wines which are modern in style but deeply rooted in tradition.
The grapes used are mostly indigenous varieties of the region. They are vinified using traditional systems, like “appassimento”, combined with modern techniques.
The result is that each single wine has a unique personality, even though it clearly maintains the style of the region.

Modern, pleasant, well-balanced and recognizable wines which have earned Masi recognition for having “revolutionized the art of wine-making in the Venetian region”, wines which lead Hugh Johnson to define Masi as “a touchstone for Verona wines”.
