Azienda Agricola Massaro Norma

Winemaking from Generation to Generation

Located in the vibrant heart of Valpolicella, one of Italy’s most renowned regions for producing exceptional red wines, Azienda Agricola Norma Massaro is rich in experience, passed down from generation to generation. Around the mid-1900s, the business was founded by the grandfather, who worked the land as a sharecropper. Over the years, a deep passion for the land and a love for wine were passed on to his son, Valentino, who decided to purchase the vineyards his father had cultivated and carry on the family tradition.

This family heritage continued to grow, expanding the business to its present scale. The real turning point came in 2015 when the family's children, driven by the passion inherited from their grandfather and father, decided to transition from selling their grapes to producing their own wines. The company name is a heartfelt dedication from the children to their mother, Norma.

The estate's vineyards, thanks to their magnificent geographical position, are bathed in sunlight from dawn to dusk, enjoying an incredibly fortunate and highly envied location. This unique exposure allows the grapes—typical varieties of the region, such as Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara—to develop their full potential, resulting in wines of undeniable excellence and quality.

The winery’s philosophy is centered around engaging and involving wine lovers in a unique journey, where the starting point is the elegant and refined label, but the true protagonist is, of course, the wine itself. The label is the result of a long and meticulous study aimed at giving the bottle—the "guardian" of the wine—a distinctive and instantly recognizable image.
