Masari
The Masari winery was inaugurated in 1998 when the Dal Lago couple decided to start a project to enhance a territory where viticulture had always struggled to express itself. We are talking about the Venetian land of the Valle d’Agno, at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti, located between the provinces of Verona and Trento, and the two courageous protagonists are Arianna Tessari and Massimo Dal Lago. Arianna comes from a family of ancient winemakers in the nearby Soave, while Massimo is a local citizen, deeply passionate about wine and oenology. Alongside them are the future promises of the project, their children Giovanni, Camilla, and Matteo, still young but eager to write a new page for the winery. The goal has been from the beginning to restore value to these lands, seeking ancient vines of the local tradition to cultivate them with great respect and sensitivity on both sides of the valley, characterized by territorial formations of different origins. The northern slope presents a volcanic soil, with lands rich in tuff and basalt, due to the ancient the activity of the Monte Faldo volcano. The type of soil on the other slope is quite different, mainly composed of limestone rocks, with the presence of marls and marine fossils.
The vines of Masari sprout in a particularly fertile territory that extends over 10 hectares, surrounded by woods, meadows, and a great variety of animals and insects that constitute a great example of biodiversity. The vines, like the olive trees, are cultivated on terraces with dry stone walls, the latter being witnesses of the ancient winemaking tradition of this place. The plants grow in a pre-Alpine climate, generally cool and with excellent temperature excursions that favor perfect fruit growth. To promote the integrity of the land and safeguard the ecosystem, no chemical fertilizers are used, such as herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides, and a biological and sustainable approach is followed.
The Masari wines are interpretations full of character, faithful readers of the complexity of the soils and the trend of the vintage. Based on where they grow, they express a different personality: on volcanic soils, mineral, fresh, and elegant wines are born; on the contrary, on limestone soils, richer, fuller, and deeper expressions bloom.
