Masi Modello delle Venezie 2001

With Modello delle Venezie Masi has created a new innovative wine which however keeps a close relationship with Masis roots in the hills of Verona. Masi has created a new model for the Venetian enology. It is a wine with an unusual grape mix: Corvina and Raboso Veronese, two of the most characteristic varieties in the Veneto. The typical characteristics of the Corvina grape provide color, bouquet and flavour of cherries; the Raboso Veronese contributes tannins, richness and vitality. The wine has a deep tone of ruby red, is round, well-structured, with the unmistakable bitter cherry flavour. Complex and elegant, Modello literalily means: "A perfect original example, a prototype for a more ample production". The Latin root of Modello is "modus", the same root for the Italian word for style (moda). Modello, a word that expresses the philosophy of production of this wine, more than any other reference to geographic names, names of grapes or of phantasy.
