A very good year. Hot and dry, with an early harvest of sweet, deeply coloured grapes.
A hot, dry year with an early harvest and grapes rich in sugar and colour.
Little rain fell from the winter onward. Late frost in April damaged a small area near San Martino Buon Albergo. June to August were hot, at times with drought and some sunburn in mid June. Hail in late August and early September, mostly in Valpantena and the east, hurt quality rather than quantity. Corvina was picked in the first week of September, about ten days earlier than in 2016, with high sugar, low malic acid and very good colour potential. The heat kept most diseases away.
Oseleta Rosso Veronese Igt “Osar” by Masi Cantina Privata Boscaini
The Boscaini family is renowned for their exceptional collection of fine wines, handpicked and preserved in their personal cellars. Each bottle in the collection is a testament to the family’s love for Masi wines and their unwavering commitment to quality. With only small quantities produced during the finest vintage years, these wines are truly one of a kind and the family is eager to share their treasures with fellow wine enthusiasts.
Osar is a wine that defies expectations, possessing an unexpected depth of structure and complexity. It boasts a full-bodied profile, rich color, and ample tannins, making it a standout among its peers. The secret to Osar’s unique character lies in its main ingredient, the ancient Veronese grape variety Oseleta. Rediscovered and replanted by Masi in the 1980s, this grape imparts a distinct flavor profile to the wine and is a testament to the winemaking prowess of the Masi technical team.
This modern interpretation of the Venetian winemaking tradition is a triumph of the Masi team, who took on the challenge of bringing Oseleta back to life and incorporating it into their winemaking process. The name Osar is a reflection of this bold endeavor, with “osare, rischiare” meaning “dare, risk” in Italian and “osar” meaning “cry out with joy” in the Veronese dialect. It is a true celebration of the cultural heritage of the Venetian regions and an historic legacy that will be treasured for generations to come.

Masi Winery has its roots in the Valpolicella Classica hills of north-eastern Italy, an area with varied soils and microclimates. The Boscaini family purchased their first plot, called “Vaio dei Masi,” in 1772 and has continued to cultivate grapes like Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, and the rediscovered Oseleta. A key element of production is the Appassimento method, in which grapes are dried for at least 100 days to create Amarone, Recioto, and double-fermentation styles such as Ripasso.
The company has expanded into multiple areas, Veneto, Friuli, Trentino, Tuscany, and Argentina, always emphasizing local grape varieties. Guided by the Masi Technical Group, ongoing research merges long-held methods with modern practices. The new headquarters, “Monteleone21,” sits mostly below ground beneath vines and stone walls, evoking the look of traditional terraces. Inside, a 12-meter-high space is reserved for drying grapes, as well as a spacious zone with a wine shop, bar, and restaurant.
Monteleone21 places strong focus on renewable resources, with geothermal and photovoltaic systems that minimize energy use. These efforts earned recognition in the Best of Wine Tourism competition organized by Great Wine Capitals and the Verona Chamber of Commerce.
Through the Masi Foundation, the winery supports cultural and educational initiatives, including the Masi Prize, which honours individuals who enrich wine-related customs. Today, Masi wines reach about 140 countries, showing a passion for each stage of production and respect for local origins and traditions.
