In the world of wine there is a "right time" ⎻ a "good time" ⎻ for every action, starting with tending the vines through to opening a bottle to crown that special moment. And it is precisely the culture of time that Masi, the historic Valpolicella producer, has made the key to its success. To mark Masi's 250th vintage, journalist and storyteller Matteo Caccia has woven together an account of its history, telling us about the company, the Boscaini family that runs it, the legendary wines it produces, and the people who work there - in particular company President Sandro Boscaini, the man who has spread his knowledge and passion for Valpolicella’s Amarone round the world. It’s a tale told by its many participants, taking us on journey to discover the lesser-known sides of an iconic brand, through its past, present and future.

The story of the Oseleta grape is that of a treasure that’s been rediscovered, of a Phoenix born again. We are talking about an indigenous Veronese grape variety that had been lost, and was discovered again by chance, and then saved in a farsighted decision that involved much work to come to a conclusion. This grape has now given a new lease of life to the Valpolicella area and has given Masi wines a touch of ancient and unusual character.
In this episode we talk about biodiversity in Valpolicella Classica and beyond, about luck and difficulties, expectations and courageous choices, with contributions from Sandro Boscaini, Raffaele Boscaini, Roberta Beber and Severino Barzan.
