i. Biography
From Diesel Farm in Marostica, Italy, Renzo Rosso’s wine work moves through a tightly held estate, a product that refuses inherited categories, and a growing position inside Masi Agricola. The journey runs from owner at the farm to Board of Directors member, with Red Circle Investments marking his rising stake in 2020 and 2021.
Early Years
The starting point is the Marostica estate: Rosso is the owner of Diesel Farm, the place around which his wine work is organized. Its craft is described through an atelier approach to wine, built on few bottles, high quality, and customization rather than scale. That language matters in practical terms. The farm’s identity is not framed around volume; it is framed around select production and a tailored idea of what a bottle can be. In that context, ownership is not simply a title on a label. It is the organizing role behind a project that links place, product, and a controlled sense of release.
Making a Name
The next turn came through Masi Agricola. In 2020, Red Circle Investment Srl acquired a 5% share of the company on Rosso’s behalf, placing him inside a larger Italian wine business through investment rather than through a new estate. By 2021, Red Circle Investments, his investment company, owned 7.5% of Masi Agricola. That increase made Rosso the fourth largest shareholder after the stake rose to 7.5% of the capital, a precise shift from participation to significant presence. His connection to the company is also formal. Rosso serves as a member of its Board of Directors, giving the relationship a governance role in addition to the shareholder position established through Red Circle Investments.
The Present
At the farm, the clearest product statement is Rrosé. In 2021, it was identified as the first no-gender wine from the estate, a wine described as rejecting preconceived definitions and as neither white nor red. The composition is specific: Rrosé is an interpretation of Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. That detail gives the bottle its structure while the category language gives it its tension, sitting between familiar grapes and an intentionally unsettled identity. Rosso’s present wine arc therefore has two tracks. One is intimate and site-specific in Marostica, expressed through few bottles, high quality, customization, and the Rrosé project. The other is corporate and strategic, carried through Red Circle Investments, a 7.5% position in Masi Agricola in 2021, and a seat on the Board of Directors.
