Tasting profile

Elegant and complex, with the balanced style associated with the Serego Alighieri estate.

Label / history

The Serego Alighieri estate has belonged to descendants of Dante Alighieri since 1353 and is now represented by the family’s twentieth generation. In 2003, the family marked 650 years of continuous presence in Valpolicella Classica by creating the limited-production Anniversario wine; its name means “anniversary” in Italian. Masi has worked with the estate for almost 40 years.
