Product Information Country Argentina Region Mendoza Grape Variety Corvina, Malbec Vintage 2021 ABV 15% Discover the bold and refined character of Masi Tupungato Corbec Appassimento 2021, a unique Amarone-style red wine crafted in Argentina using traditional Italian winemaking techniques. Produced at the prestigious Masi Tupungato La Arboleda Estate, this premium red wine blends Corvina and Malbec grapes to create an exceptional expression of innovation and heritage. Made using the appassimento method, a drying process that concentrates flavour and aroma, this wine offers a luxurious and full-bodied experience. The Corvina brings elegance, with notes of ripe cherries and a velvety mouthfeel, while the Malbec contributes powerful tannins and rich, dark fruit intensity. Deep, impenetrable ruby in colour, the Corbec bursts with an intense bouquet of forest fruits, plum conserve, mint, and cinnamon. On the palate, it is smooth and generous, featuring layers of cooked cherries, plums, and a lingering finish of bitter cocoa and spice. Whether you are a fan of Amarone red wines, a collector of Argentine Malbec blends, or looking for a standout dry red wine for special occasions, Masi Corbec is a must-have for your cellar. Masi Tupungato is one of the most innovative winemaking ventures in recent years, blending traditional Italian winemaking techniques with the unique terroir of Argentina. Located in the Tupungato Valley in Mendoza, Argentina, at the foot of the majestic Tupungato volcano, this vineyard project is where Masi Winery brings centuries of Venetian winemaking expertise to South American soil. At the heart of this project is the celebrated Appassimento method, a traditional Venetian technique where grapes are carefully dried over the winter to concentrate their flavours, aromas, and complexity. Masi has perfected this process over generations in Italy and now applies it with stunning success in Argentina’s rich, high-altitude vineyards. The Masi Tupungato estate produces a distinctive range of organic Argentine wines with Italian influence, including: • Corbec: A bold red wine made from a unique blend of Corvina and Malbec grapes. • Passo Doble: A vibrant red wine combining Argentine passion with Italian finesse. • Passo Blanco: A refreshing white wine with rich floral and tropical notes. Each wine is crafted using the appassimento winemaking process and benefits from certified organic cultivation, reflecting Masi’s commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible viticulture. Argentine Terroir Meets Italian Craftsmanship The philosophy of Masi Tupungato is best expressed as “Argentinean Nature, Venetian Style.” This phrase captures the essence of wines that are both rooted in the rich soil of Mendoza and refined by centuries-old Italian techniques.
