Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Costasera 2017
Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant. This is a special cru version of Masi’s gentle giant, Costasera. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Here Masi’s unrivalled expertise in the Appassimento technique is used to give the grapes a long period of further ripening on bamboo racks and an ageing period for the wine of at least three years in casks made from the finest wood types. The expert use of indigenous grapes for the Valpolicella Classico area - Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara – is enriched by adding the unique Oseleta, a grape variety rediscovered by Masi.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

Plums and baked cherries, with hints of toasted coffee.

Flavour

Majestic and elegant, thanks to its notes of cherries in alcohol and bitter cocoa with an attractive long finish.

Pairing

Ideal with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Very pleasant after a meal.
