The grapes come from the Chianti production area, particularly the area around Rufina. Paolo Masi works with winegrowers and buys their grapes every year.
Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature between 23 °C and 25 °C.
The Masi family is a wine-growing family at heart and has been making wine in the Chianti region since 1900. The winery is located in the famous wine village of Rufina, where they produce Chianti, Chianti Riserva and some more modern styles.
Over the past fifteen years the company has been committed to a research programme for the highest level of quality. These efforts have led to a new winery for winemaking and ageing.
Renzo Masi is a small trading house in Rufina, Chianti. It was established in the 1930s by Renzo Masi, the grandfather of Paolo Masi, the current owner and winemaker. Paolo makes wines in a modern, fruit-driven style, without abandoning classic Tuscan values.
