Meet Mr. Stefan Wich 

Mr. Wich is a Top Gun for wine distributor Hartley & Parker. They call upon his skills for special events and whenever they need a "Special Handler" for visiting Wine Makers  and industry dignitaries. This Friday we get him all to ourselves.

Stefan has selected 3 wines from powerhouse producer
Masi Agricole


1 - Masianco - "Super Venetian" 
Rated 89 Points Wine Enthusiast 
 

masianco-banner1 A fresh white wine, aromatic and fruity in style; the unmistakable result of combining Pinot Grigio delle Venezie with the Appassimento technique, Masi's speciality.   

 

Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo may sound like strange bedfellows, but there is nothing odd about this light and bright wine from one of the stalwarts of the Veneto. You might think of it as a Supervenetian white, with a big personality and a real affinity for food, particularly fish and grilled white meats.  

 

According to Wine Enthusiast: "Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo are blended to shape a fresh and luminous white wine that would pair with seafood or light chicken dishes. The wine is clean and sharp on the palate with zesty acidity on the close."  


A "Supervenetian" with great style, and a worthy "brother" to the famous red wine, Campofiorin.   ( see below ) 

  


2 - Masi Tupungato "Passo Doble" 

Argentina - Argentina is regarded as one of the most dynamic wine-producing nations in the world, and possibly the most important wine-producing region in South America.

Red wine with unusual aromatic richness, striking for its fruity intensity and light spiciness.


This is a modern wine made in an unconventional style from grapes produced on the Masi Tupungato La Arboleda estate at Mendoza in Argentina.

It gets its generous, strong and exuberant nature from the local Malbec grape, while Corvina Veronese, given a short Appassimento, gives it the typical attractiveness, elegance and friendliness of wine from the Veneto.

The Mendoza region is the most important region in Argentina's wine industry. And Malbec, among other Bordeaux varietals grown here, reigns supreme.

3 - Masi Campofiorin Ripasso - $18

88 Points - Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

          

 

Masi campofiorin

 

A very versatile wine. Perfect with many different kinds of food such as pasta with rich sauces (based on meat or mushrooms), grilled or roasted red meats, game and mature cheeses.  

 

One of Masi's unique speciality wines, made with the Masi double fermentation technique. A red wine made from local Veronese grapes vinified fresh from the harvest and then re-fermented with a small percentage of semi-dried grapes of the same varieties.  

The wine splendidly encompasses the qualities of the Verona area: the excellence of the zone, the highly individual style of the indigenous Veronese grape varieties, and the originality of the techniques of "appassimento" (semi-drying) and Masi double fermentation. Combining simplicity and grace with power and majesty. Rich, full-bodied, round and velvety smooth on its finish. 

 

Critical Acclaim:

 

"Deep ruby. Red fruits, chocolate and vanilla on the nose. Rich and suave in the mouth, with ripe red fruit and chocolate flavors that are ample but lack a little complexity. Finishes smooth and moderately long. The word brolo is equivalent to the French clos (a walled vineyard); this wine is made from a special selection of the best grapes available, all native and mainly corvina.
