Masi Tupungato Corbec Appassimento 2020

From Masi Tupungato, Corbec Appassimento 2020 is a wine shaped by a distinctive meeting of Venetian technique and Argentine terroir. Produced at the Vigneti La Arboleda estate in the Tupungato Valley, it draws on vineyards planted with both Argentine and Venetian grape varieties, bringing a considered, cross-continental approach to winemaking.

Corbec is made using Masi’s specialist appassimento method, with the two grape varieties harvested and vinified separately. Selected bunches are laid on specially constructed wooden trays for twenty days, during which the grapes lose about twenty percent of their weight, increasing the concentration of sugars and aromas. The fruit for this wine is grown at an altitude of 950–1050 metres above sea level in the Tupungato Valley, a setting that underlines the estate’s focus on site and technique working together.
