Masi, the Italian company, which was established in Valpolicella in 1772, founded this label in Argentina. The company realised that the climate, soil and other terroir qualities in the Tupungato Valley of Argentina matched exactly what was found back home in Veneto.
One of the highlights that you will notice in Masi Tupungato wines is their similarity to the class and elegance found in the wines made in Veneto, Italy. Today, the wines made here have an Argentinian soul and Venetian style, much to the delight of the wine lovers. For those who enjoy the Amarone style wines of north-east Italy then the Masi Tupungato Corbec is a must try wine. A blend of Corvina and Malbec grapes this is a modern, innovative wine made in the Masi Tupungato La Arboleda estate in Argentina, using Masi’s expertise in the appassimento method. The elegance of the Corvina grape, with its tastes of super-ripe cherries and velvety texture, is combined with the exuberant virility and tannins of the Malbec grape to produce an outstanding taste and aroma profile. The Corbec is an impenetrable dark red in colour displaying an intense bouquet of fruits-of-the-forest and conserves, with hints of mint and cinnamon. The palate is smooth and full bodied with flavours of plums and cooked cherries leading to a long, bitter cocoa finish.
