Masi Tupungato is a winemaking project developed in Argentina by Masi, an Italian company with origins in Valpolicella in 1772, producing quality wines from the Venetian regions and a leader in the Amarone sector.
Masi has found the right cultural and environmental conditions for the use of the grapes and techniques native to the Venetian regions in the Tupungato valley, Mendoza region. Masi has taken its philosophy of care and respect for the environment to this region, creating a totally eco-sustainable company.
Passo Doble, Passo Blanco and Corbec are the organic wines produced by Masi Tupungato, fully certified beginning with the 2015 vintage. They unite the exuberance of Argentinean nature with the attractive and elegant style of Venetian wines.
This ideal vine growing region provides the right conditions for carrying out post-harvest grape appassimento, a winemaking technique typical of the Veneto and one for which Masi is internationally acknowledged as having great expertise.
The first plantings with different grape varieties – Venetian and Argentinean – were made in the 1990s, in order to assess their potential and their compatibility with the new environment. "Argentinian soul, Venetian style” is the philosophy behind Masi Tupungato.
Masi Tupungato wines have a unique place in the Argentinean wine world: they are the fruit of an original encounter between the emblematic grapes of Argentina, Malbec and Torrontès, and native grapes from the Venetian regions, Corvina and Pinot Grigio. Wines from the Masi Tupungato estate are made with the appassimento technique, which means leaving the grapes to dry out for the winter months, thus concentrating aromas and perfumes. This is a typical Venetian winemaking method, in Masi is internationally recognised to have a great expertise. It produces versatile and innovative wines, which unite Argentinean exuberance with the attractiveness and elegance of the Veneto.
