Masi Amarone "Costasera" Classico DOC

Masi's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico exemplifies the appassimento tradition of northeastern Italy. Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes are dried before fermentation, concentrating sugars and flavors into a wine of considerable depth and structure.

On the nose, dark fruit compote—black cherry and plum—dominates, with subtle oak and vanilla from careful aging. The palate is full and enveloping, with medium-high tannins that frame the wine's richness without overwhelming. Tobacco and leather notes emerge in the finish, adding tertiary complexity and food-friendly grip.

A benchmark expression of Amarone's power and elegance, suited to grilled red meat, braised beef, aged cheeses, and game.
