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
Antique gold colour with amber hues. Very intense, complex and persistent nose reminiscent of dried fruits, vanilla and orange peel; hints of incense can also be detected. On the palate, it is sweet, full bodied, balanced and with a long finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal for dipping dry almond biscuits ("Cantucci") and excellent with all dry or semi-dry cakes typical of the Tuscan cuisine such as chestnut tart ("Castagnaccio"). Excellent also with cheese (pecorino toscano in particular) and caramelized figs.
