Masi Colbaraca Soave Classico Superiore 2024
Intense nose of ripe pears and sweet spices are followed by a creamy, fresh, well-balanced palate offering good acidity and a long finish with hints of pear and almond.
One of the classics of the great Veronese tradition, made by Masi in a contemporary style.
Colbaraca is produced with Garganega grapes grown in the Masi-owned organically cultivated vineyards in the commune of Monteforte, in the historic Soave area. It is characterised by its impressive structure and marked elegance, fitting softness and good minerality.

Though run by the Boscaini family for six generations, it is really in the last fifty years that Masi has established itself as one of the Veneto’s most innovative wine producers. In the late 1950s, they identified certain historic vineyard plots which are vinified as Amarone and bottled separately to this day. In 1964, they launched the now-legendary Campofiorin, which revived the technique of a second fermentation with semi-dried grapes. Masi have also rescued the ancient Oseleta variety from extinction, and continue to use it in two of their celebrated “Supervenetian” wines.
