Renzo Masi
The Masi family has been making wine for three generations. It currently produces a wide range of wines (white rose red and dessert) from a variety of grapes all of which come from vineyards owned by the family in Rufina (Fattoria di Basciano) and from other long-established vineyards situated around Rufina (except for the Bianco Vergine Valdichiana). Currently Paolo Masi carries out the family's philosophy of producing excellent quality/price related wines. Paolo emphasizes the long term relationship of cooperation with each grower. He consults with them in the vineyard to obtain the highest quality and will pay higher prices for lower yields in the interest of better wine.
Description
Deep black cherry red with purple hues. Intense, elegant whiffs of violets and small dark, wild forest fruits such as black currant, bilberries and blackberries. On the palate it displays a flawless integration of ripe, mineral, fruity flavours against the backdrop of a spicy but silky and refined texture.
Food Pairing
I Pini represents a perfect match for any grilled meats such as Steak Fiorentina, game stews and seasoned cheeses. It will also pair very well with rich pasta dishes and should finally be gently and meditatively sipped at the end of supper.
