Masi Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a renowned Italian wine produced in the Veneto region. This wine is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are dried on bamboo racks to concentrate their flavors before fermentation. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels, which impart a subtle spiciness and complexity. The winemaker notes reveal a rich bouquet of baked fruit, plums, and cherries, with hints of coffee and cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a long, elegant finish. The alcohol by volume (ABV) is typically around 15%.

A full-bodied Amarone with layers of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of chocolate.

This opens beautifully to reveal violets, blueberries, licorice, citrus, oyster shell and orange rind. So velvety and polished, but with real depth and structure. Medium-to full-bodied with delightful fruit and a long finish. Drink in 2021 but already so satisfying.
