| Masi are virtuosos when it comes to working with dried and partially dried grapes, so buckle up. You will find this one, crafted from Refosco, to be a savoury, plush wine with big dark fruit tones along with earth and vanilla. This is a wine that demands you bring the meat - and grill it. Think blackened lamb or charred beef ribs. |
