In the 1950s, Masi was a pioneer in establishing the cru or "single vineyard" concept in Italy. The company's Amarone and Recioto wines from historic cru vineyards are excellent expressions of the different terroir sites in the Valoplicella region, which endow the wines with unique style and typical, easily-recognisable characteristics
