Profile

This powerful red wine from Italy is made from the Oseleta grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Veneto. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into clay and limestone soils. The Osar Rosso del Veronese is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. 

Osar is a wine with surprising structure and complexity, unusual for its full-bodied nature, colour and tannin content. Made with the ancient Veronese grape variety, Oseleta, which was rediscovered and replanted by Masi in the 1980s, it tells a unique story in the history of winemaking in the Venetian regions and its success is a triumph of the Masi technical team.

The extreme tannins are well balanced with the acidity and alcohol.

Critic awards

Rich, dark ruby red colour with brick red rim. Intense on the nose, with lots of sweet nuances of cranberry, savoury notes of cinnamon and coriander. Smooth on the palate, tannic, concentrated fruit, and light grip on the finish.

— 92 points, Falstaff

Straight shooting oseleta. A fine variety, boding well for the future as the climate warms. Yet better as the spine in a blend, perhaps. A tad monochromatic, if not very firm and uber savory. High acidity and a broad swathe of tannins encase bitter cherry, licorice and dried herbs strewn across an edgy finish.

— 90 points, James Suckling
