Description
History
Tenuta Maso Corno is a winery located in the Lessini Mountains in Italy. The cellar extends onto a terrace suspended over the Ala stream and overlooks the Adige valley. The dolomite-limestone soil and the foothills air together with the morning exposure make the wines of Maso Corno unique. The winery uses grapes that have been grown for over thirty years and have developed characteristics of robustness, generating wines of character and class. The owner, Giulio Larcher, has expanded the cultivation of vines throughout the property using offspring clones of the original vines and making choices that respect the historical-environmental typicality and quality.

Tasting notes
Straw yellow in color with golden reflections, the wine releases intense aromas and reveals a large bouquet. Floral, vegetable and mineral scents blend and integrate with those conferred by the refinement.
Freshness and sapidity are well balanced with softness.
The long persistence of the aromas in the mouth is pleasantly accompanied by the sensation of an important structure. The alcohol content, although clearly evident, does not predominate. Villanova by Tenuta Maso Corno is an elegant wine in which all the components combine in a harmonious whole.
Possible combinations
It is perfect for pairing with fresh and creamy cheeses, or with delicate fish dishes or with seafood first courses.
