Masi Modello Delle Venezie 2008 - Mid-weight, bright ruby red in colour. Interesting complexity on the nose, where violets and ripe red fruit are the dominant aromas. Good structure and excellent balance of freshness from the acidity with soft tannins. Plums and raspberries with hints of vanilla on the palate with an attractive length.
Refosco, Raboso and a small percentage of other important local grape varieties, are the basis for this unmistakably typical wine from the Venetian territories, which is fruity, well-structured and quaffable. Ideal with a variety of dishes, from soups to grilled meats; also perfect with pasta dishes.
Winter snows and spring showers promoted normal growth with the vines. Temperatures were above average until the end of September, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and healthily. Harvesting of red varieties began at the end of September. As normal, mechanical picking of the Modello grapes took place in the cool of night-time.
