Rosa dei Masi delle Venezie Rosato

A rosé that has more character than its price suggests: fruity-spicy, with a real backbone from the northeast of Italy.

Masi is one of the most well-known houses in Veneto – family-owned for generations and known for careful work with indigenous grape varieties. The Rosa dei Masi combines Refosco, a red original variety from Friuli, with Merlot from the Venezie. After fermentation and malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for two to three months in steel tanks and another two months in the bottle – the result is a rosé with fresh acidity and stable structure.

On the nose, strawberry and raspberry, behind them a fine spice that clearly comes from the Refosco. On the finish, almonds and a hint of roasted coffee – unusual for a rosé, but harmonious. Medium body, drinkable, without appearing shallow.
