The Boscaini family, who have managed the estate for seven generations, are known for their dedication to traditional techniques and innovation. Masi is particularly renowned for pioneering the “Appassimento” method, which involves drying grapes to concentrate their flavors. This technique is a hallmark of their wines, reflecting the rich heritage and terroir of the Valpolicella region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMasi Agricola produces the Levarìe Soave Classico under the expertise of their technical team, led by Raffaele Boscaini.

The area is characterized by east-facing slopes, known as “Levarìe,” which benefit from the light and cool morning sun. The soil is deep and loose-textured, with large areas of basalt and volcanic rock, contributing to the wine’s complexity and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe grapes were gently crushed, with 20% undergoing cryomaceration for 24 hours at 5°C.
