How Masi Modello Rosso tastes: light, fresh and soft
Masi describes Modello Rosso as soft-tannined with red fruit and sweet spice, and James Suckling found the 2024 peppery, crunchy and easy to drink. At 12% it is lighter than most Italian reds. Vivino's 834 written reviews mention vanilla and chocolate first, then blackberry, plum and cherry.

Blackberry, raspberry and cherry with the sweet spice Masi's sheet promises, and the vanilla and chocolate that Vivino drinkers mention most across 834 written reviews. James Suckling found the 2024 peppery and crunchy, with cocoa bean and a raw-meat edge.
Light-bodied and fresh at 12%, with lively acidity and the soft, delicate tannin of a Merlot and Refosco blend grown on the flat Trevenezie land near the Adriatic. The fruit is juicy rather than deep, and Suckling found the tannins silky and the acidity crisp on the 2024.
Short and clean, with wild berries and a touch of liquorice, as xtrawine's note describes it. Suckling's verdict on the 2024 was simply easy to drink now.
Masi's simplest red, the everyday bottle below Campofiorin and the Valpolicellas. Vivino drinkers rate it 3.4 from 22,339 ratings and the first 40 ratings of the 2025 average 3.6; critics average 84 out of 100. Drink within two to four years with pizza, pasta or a plate of salami.
Buying Masi Modello Rosso in the UK: one shop, about £12
Only xtrawine lists Modello Rosso among the shops tracked here, so there is no price to compare between shops. The 2025 sells for around £12, close to Wine-Searcher's worldwide average of about 11 euros before tax. Masi says drink it within two to four years, so buy for now, not the cellar.
Where Masi Modello Rosso fits: an easy, everyday bottle
At around £12 and 12%, this is a weeknight red for pizza and pasta, so it scores highest for everyday drinking, beginners and value. It is not a cellar or special-occasion wine, and critics average 84 out of 100, a fair score for the price.
Around £12, light, food-friendly and made to drink now: a weeknight red by design.
Light, soft and fruity at 12%, with soft tannin and a light body; an easy first Italian red from a name people know.
About £12 for a 12% blend from Italy's best-known Amarone house; Wine-Searcher rates its quality-to-price as outstanding, against a worldwide average of 11 euros before tax.
Fresh acidity and soft tannin suit pizza, pasta, salami boards and white meat; too light for big red meat.
An entry-level Trevenezie IGT from Masi's simplest range; not a bottle for a big dinner or a gift.
Masi gives it two to four years; drink the newest vintage young.

The 2025 Masi Modello Rosso: a hot June, then a steady harvest
Masi's technical team reported June heat above 37C, then July storms and patches of hail across the north-east, kept in check by careful vineyard work. Masi expected picking to run a few days later than 2024, with grape quality looking positive. Vivino's first 40 ratings of the 2025 average 3.6, above the wine's long-run 3.4.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
Pizza, pasta and salami: what to eat with Masi Modello Rosso
Light body, fresh acidity and soft tannin make this a weeknight red. Masi's own list is salami and cheese boards, pasta with tasty sauces and white or red meat. The critic Anthony Gismondi called an earlier vintage a classic Margherita pizza red.
Pizza and tomato pasta
Fresh acidity meets the tomato head-on, and the light tannin does not fight a simple sauce. The critic Anthony Gismondi called an earlier vintage a classic Margherita pizza red.
Try with: Pizza Margherita · Pasta arrabbiata · Pasta alla Norma · Pizza Marinara · More pairings →
Salami and cheese boards
Masi's own first suggestion. Salt in cured meat and medium-aged cheese softens the wine's tannin and brings out its red fruit, and the light body keeps a grazing plate from feeling heavy.
Try with: Melton Mowbray Pork Pie · Cheese board · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Lancashire Cheese
Roast chicken and pork
Light body and soft tannin match white meat and pork without smothering it, and the acidity cuts the fat of crisp skin. Masi lists white and red meats among its matches.
Try with: Roast chicken · Roast pork · Pork belly · Pulled pork · More pairings →
Lasagne, ragu and baked pasta
The sweet-spice and cherry notes sit easily with a meat sauce, and the wine's freshness lifts a rich baked dish. Masi points to pasta with tasty sauces.
Try with: Lasagna · Ragu alla bolognese · Cotoletta alla bolognese · Shepherd's Pie · More pairings →
Mushroom and bean soups, risotto
Masi's Italian sheet names legume and mushroom soups and risotto. The wine's acidity cuts the starch and butter, and its earthy Refosco side echoes mushrooms.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Pappa al Pomodoro · Pumpkin risotto · Radicchio risotto · More pairings →
Big steaks, hot curries and oily fish
Too light for a fiorentina or a rack of lamb, which want a bold red with real tannin such as a Brunello di Montalcino. Chilli heat makes it taste thin, and oily fish turns its tannin metallic.
Skip with: Fiorentina steak · Chicken jalfrezi · Chicken madras · Fish and Chips · Pairing guide →
Not a cellar wine: drink Modello Rosso within two to four years
Masi's own sheet gives Modello Rosso a two-to-four-year life, and Suckling's note on the 2024 says drink it now. Buy the newest vintage and open it young; there is nothing to gain from keeping it.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Masi gives it two to four years; drink the newest vintage young.
£11.60 for a 75cl bottle of the 2025, at XtraWine, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Common Questions
Merlot, Refosco and Raboso Veronese, all grown in the Trevenezie, the three regions of Italy's north-east. James Suckling put the 2024 at about 65% Merlot and 35% Refosco with a little Raboso. Masi lists no exact split, so it can shift a touch each year.
A light, fresh red at 12% with blackberry, raspberry and cherry, a touch of sweet spice and soft tannins. Vivino drinkers mention vanilla and chocolate notes most, then black and red fruit. It is made to drink young, within two to four years, and Masi says serve it at 18C.
Masi Agricola, the Boscaini family firm at Gargagnago in Valpolicella, founded in 1772 and best known for Amarone. The grapes for Modello come partly from its Stra' del Milione estate in the flat land near the Adriatic, where sea breezes and the Dolomites moderate the climate.
Of the shops tracked here, only xtrawine lists it, at around £12 for the 2025, so there is no price to compare between shops. Wine-Searcher puts the average shop price worldwide at about 11 euros before tax.
Pizza, tomato pasta and plates of salami and cheese. Masi's own suggestions are salami and cheese boards, pasta with tasty sauces and white or red meat. Its fresh acidity and light tannin suit weeknight food rather than a big roast.
No. Modello is Masi's entry-level Trevenezie blend of Merlot, Refosco and Raboso. Campofiorin and the Valpolicella wines use Corvina and Rondinella from the hills above Verona and cost more. Modello is the simple, everyday bottle in the range.
