Masi Frescaripa Bardolino Classico 2024
Notes of cherries, plums and hints of pepper on the nose, followed by a refreshing palate with good supporting acidity and flavours of cherries and blackcurrants.
Frescaripa the name is a reference to the hillside vineyards of origin in the Bardolino Classico zone. Here the surrounding woods and cooling breezes from Lake Garda promote particularly favourable geo-climatic conditions.

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.
