MASI AGRICOLA

Masi Agricola is a wine producing company rooted in Valpolicella Classica, producing and distributing premium wines firmly anchored to the values of the Venetian area. Thanks to the use of indigenous grape varieties and methods, and ongoing experimentation and research activities, Masi is today one of the best known Italian producers of quality wines in the world. Its wines, in particular its Amarone, have gained wide international acclaim by the critics.

The Group's business model combines high quality and efficiency with an updating of the values and traditions of its local territory. All this forms part of a vision that leads Masi to stand out not only for its core business, but also its research and experimentation activities in the fields of agriculture and wine production, in order to enhance and promote its local territory and its Venetian cultural heritage.

The Group can count on a strong and growing international calling: it has a presence in almost 100 countries, with exports representing over 90% of overall turnover.

The Masi Group had sales of approximately €60 million in 2014, with an EBITDA margin of around 30%.

Masi has a precise growth strategy, based on three building blocks: broadening of the offering of wines linked to the territory and techniques of the Venetian area, including through acquisitions; organic growth through the strengthening of its position in the numerous markets where it is a key player; achieving ever more direct contact with the final consumer, attaining richer significance for its internationally well-known brand.

The alphanumeric code for the shares is "MASI" and the ISIN code IT0004125677. The minimum tradable amount is 250 shares. The Nomad and Specialist for the company is Equita Sim S.p.A..
