List of products by supplier Maso Salengo

In the early 1900s, in the rural villages of the Adige valley where there were not yet any shops or trattorias, when the wine was ready and the winegrower was in the mood, a branch of ivy was hung on the cellar door. That was the signal to which the neighbors would respond with a glass, a bottle, and a chair. In the courtyard, a wine-pouring gathering would be organized in a convivial atmosphere. This is how the great-grandfather of Giuseppina and Paolo sold his wine in Volano, a small village near Trento. Today the two young winegrowers, with the treasure of experience passed down to them, combined with fresh enthusiasm and excellent modern technologies, have managed to produce both white and red wines that are an expression of that wonderful land—clayey because it was once flooded by the Adige—between the hills of Trento and the northern shores of Lake Garda. In 1969 they began bottling their wines, and in 1980 the name became Maso Salengo. Yesterday as today, the family is proud to produce a soft and structured Marzemino, thanks precisely to the clayey nature of the soil. In the vineyard, the Marzemino vines are trained using the pergola system, in some areas with old vines—no surprise there, since here in Vallagarina this grape variety is a true protagonist, and it was mentioned by the librettist Da Ponte in the verses of Don Giovanni set to music by Mozart: "Pour the wine! Excellent Marzemino!" The winery produces about ten grape varieties, selected among those best suited to its land, and produces some white wines, but mainly red wines.
