To query through Matasci Vini & Dstillati is a special experience. As one of the pioneers of the Ticino Merlot, Matasci provides a wide choice of local wine and distillery of its own production for everyone’s taste and budget. The “Selezione d’Ottobre”, famous for more than 40 years, and the “Villa Jelmini”, named by the Matasci-Villa itself, are only two excellent drops mentioned. But not only local wine and distillery are present; there is also distinguished range of wine round the world available. In the stupendous old cellar of the Villa Jelmini, Matasci opened a museum, which can be called as the proudest of the firm. Carefully documented it attests the story and the culture of the wine production in the Ticino. The aura of barrels vats and grape presses tempt everyone. In the upper floor of the beautiful Villa Matasci is Matasci Arte, a small museum with changing art exhibitions. The Villa Jelmini is just in front of the railway station of Tenero, a very sunny village at the Lago Maggiore with beautiful houses on the hillside. A much demanded area as it is close to Locarno city with all its conveniences and also close to the famous Verzasca Valley with its wild nature and picturesque old rustic houses. In Tenero, a beautiful villa in a very sunny position with beautiful panoramic views on Lago Maggiore is listed by WETAG Consulting.
