{"title":"Masi","description":"Masi is an Italian winery located in the Veneto region of northern Italy. Founded in the 18th century by the Boscaini family, the estate lies in a small valley (Italian: \u0026quot;Masi\u0026quot;) that offers excellent conditions for vine growth. The winery employs special techniques, including double fermentation and appassimento, in which the grapes are dried for several weeks before processing. These processes impart a richer color and more complex aromas to Masi wines. The grapes are cultivated on a total of 40 hectares of vineyards, including volcanic soils. The grape varieties used include Corvina, Refosco, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer.","products":[{"product_id":"costasera-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-0375l","title":"Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 0.375L","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmarone by the half bottle — ideal if you want to enjoy the great wine without the big commitment.
