Product Notes

Masi Osar wine is a charismatic Italian classic that beautifully embodies the spirit of Veneto vineyards. Crafted from hand-picked and rigorously selected grapes, this sumptuous red portrays a luminous ruby red hue. One can perceive a subtle fragrance of dark cherries, tobacco, and spices, elegantly melting into a rich, enveloping flavour profile on the palate. Aged meticulously, Masi Osar carries firm tannins and a well-balanced acidity, providing an intriguing, long-lasting finish. It's a splendid choice for pairing with robust, hearty dishes, showcasing the wine's depth and complexity. An absolute delight for Wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

A wine with surprising structure and complexity, unusual for its body, colour and tannicity. Its original nature comes from the use of Oseleta, a grape with extraordinary power that is a jewel of our territory: an ancient Veronese variety rediscovered and replanted by Masi in the 1980s. Strong tannins in a strong wine, well-balanced with good acidity. Long finish.
