Terra 2023 - Vigneti Massa

Terra - Vigneti Massa

Terra di Vigneti Massa is a juicy and sincere red wine, simple, clear and distinct red fruits with a slight hint of spiciness. On the finish, great drinkability and freshness to spare. It is produced from red grapes found at around 300 meters above sea level, on calcareous and skeletal soils, capable of producing mineral and juicy wines. In the cellar, the grapes ferment spontaneously using only indigenous yeasts. It is the ideal wine for celebrating and toasting, all accompanied by a nice pasta and beans.

Service

We taste it to a temperature of around 16/18°.

Pairings

Excellent wine to combine with appetizers of cured meats, savory first courses, second courses based on roast meats, to try with a plate of polenta and verzini.

The biggest merit of Walter Massa, became an almost legendary figure and considered by many colleagues as a master, was to rediscover a vine that threatened the extinction, Timorasso, sensing the great potential and obtaining memorable wines. Vineyards Massa is the name of the family winery, founded by Walter's ancestors in 1879, which now boasts a 23-hectare property on Monleale hills, about 300 meters above sea level. We find the typical varieties of the area: Barbera, Croatina, Freisa but especially Timorasso, which reserved 10 hectares. In line with the long family tradition and territorial, these vineyards are planted scropolosa attention and much common sense peasant, with minimal treatment. Enemy of all forms of bureaucracy and always against, Walter is convinced that wine is made in the vineyard and in the cellar and not with brands and documents, why he chose not to use his name for many labels, thanks to its established reputation true craftsman of the wine.
