Il Maso
MASO ROMANI Marzemino
Symbol of Vallagarina, Marzemino is a native variety that has found its most complete expression in this area, after being probably introduced from Dalmatia during the time of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Its fame is also linked to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who, in Don Giovanni, praises the qualities of the “excellent Marzemino”, then sweet and persuasive. Today it is mainly interpreted in a dry version, maintaining a gentle and balanced profile. The most suitable growing area in Trentino is Vallagarina, where Maso Romani is located, from which this wine takes its name. The name derives from Attilio Romani, who purchased the farm and surrounding vineyards in the 19th century. The property now belongs to the Romani Foundation, but the Maso is managed directly by Cavit, which has been producing this historic cru for over twenty years in the 6 hectares of experimental-demonstration vineyard where, since 2003, all the possible Marzemino wine production methods known today have been studied. Aged exclusively in stainless steel, this cru expresses intense notes of violet and black cherry, fully faithful to the varietal.
