Winery Profile
- Masari was born in 1998 when Massimo Dal Lago and Arianna Tessari decided to recover the history, land and viticulture of Valle d’Agno. They searched for old vineyards and local varieties to cultivate with great care and respect.
- Arianna was born into a historical family of vinegrowers in the Soave Classico area. Massimo was born in the Valle d’Agno. He is a passionate winemaker and studied at the best European universities.
- The vineyards are perfectly inserted in this intact ecosystem among the woods. The vines are grown on terraces supported by thick dry- stone walls. The dry-stone walls, made of black basalt in the volcanic area and white stone in the calcareous area, enhance the intense green landscape.
