About Masi Wine - No they are not related. Different area even. But a curious coincidence: I ordered my bike from Alberto with a friend of mine who was a wine salesman (Masi was one of his lines) and made frequent trips to Italy, and decided one day to get a Masi bicycle just for the fun of it. After I got mine, I ended up importing a dozen or so, and my friend got me a case of thier fanciest wine with hand-written labels which I gave away with each Masi sale. My friend now is the international sales manager for Masi wines, and has lived in Italy for 12 years or so.
