Welcome to Fattoria di Basciano – Cantine Renzo Masi, the heart of the Masi family’s winemaking tradition.
For three generations, our passion has guided us in producing quality wines, combining innovation and respect for tradition.
From the sunny hills to the silence of our cellar, each bottle of Fattoria di Basciano tells a story of passion and dedication. The hand-selected bunches are transformed into wines that capture the essence of the territory, while the precious oil and the Vin Santo aged for six years complete our production.
A sensory journey where tradition and passion blend in every sip, an authentic expression of our philosophy.
