Osar

Cantina Privata Boscaini Osar is a powerful, characterful Rosso Verona IGT built around the re discovered native Oseleta grape. This single varietal cuvée showcases the versatility and depth Masi extracts from old Veronese varieties and is renowned for its exceptional structure and concentration.

In the glass Osar displays a deep, full colour with intense aromas of black and red forest fruit: pronounced blackcurrant and blueberry notes, followed by sweet spice and a subtle supporting fresh acidity. The palate is rich and layered: firm yet youthful tannins are balanced by good harmony and persistent fruitiness, finishing long and spicy, highlighting the signature of Oseleta.

The wine stems from Masi’s reintroduction of Oseleta in the 1980s; the variety produces compact clusters with high polyphenol and tannin content, giving Osar colour intensity, structure and ageing potential. Focused vinification and controlled extraction preserve finesse despite the grape’s natural power.

Osar pairs ideally with grilled red meat, lamb, game dishes and strongly aged cheeses, and works well with dried fruit or compotes that echo its fruit and spice profile. Serve at about 16–18 °C in large glasses to reveal the layers of aroma and the firm texture.
