Masi Agricola is an Italian wine producer based in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in the province of Verona. It was founded in 1772 by the Boscaini family, who still own and manage the company. Masi is known for its production of Amarone and Recioto wines, using mainly native grapes and methods of the Veneto region.

History
Masi’s origins date back to 1772, when the Boscaini family acquired vineyards in the historic “Vaio dei Masi” estate in Valpolicella. The name Masi derives from this location. In the following decades, the company expanded its holdings and acquired other estates in the Veneto region, such as Serego Alighieri (1973), Bossi Fedrigotti (2008), Canevel (2016) and Lunato (2019).

Masi also owns vineyards outside Italy, such as Masi Tupungato in Argentina (1999) and Masi Wine Bar & Grill in Zurich, Switzerland (2015).

Masi is also involved in cultural and social initiatives, such as the Masi Foundation, which promotes the values and traditions of the Venetian territory, and the Masi Prize, which awards personalities who have distinguished themselves in literature, art, journalism and humanitarian work.

In 2004, Masi became a public company listed on the Borsa Italiana.

Products
Masi produces a range of wines from different appellations and grape varieties, with a focus on the traditional wines of the Veneto region. The company is especially known for its Amarone and Recioto wines, which are made with the appassimento technique, a process of drying grapes to concentrate their aromas and flavors.

Some of Masi’s flagship products include:

Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG: a red wine made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, aged for 24 months in oak barrels. Riserva Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG Riserva: a red wine made from the same grapes as Costasera, but with a longer aging period of 38 months in oak barrels. Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT: a red wine made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, with a second fermentation on semi-dried grapes to enhance its complexity and richness. Brolo Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT: a red wine made from the same grapes as Campofiorin, but with a higher percentage of Corvina and a longer aging period of 24 months in oak barrels. {{cite web |url=https://www.masi.it/en/wines/campofiorin-family/brolo-campofiorin-rosso-del-veronese-igt List of Italian companies List of wine producers Venetian cuisine
