Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico 2015 750ml

Dark red and impenetrable. has strong aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, and extremely ripe fruit. Warm and filling, with baked fruit, cooked cherries, cloves, sweet spices, and a lingering, dry finish.

Costasera, Masi’s gentle giant, is a unique cru variant that is proud, magnificent, sophisticated, and joyful. A standard for the Amarone category, which represents the Italian wine world’s aristocracy along with Barolo and Brunello.

Here, Masi’s unmatched proficiency with the Appassimento technique is employed to give the grapes a lengthy time to develop further on bamboo racks and to age the wine for at least three years in casks made of the finest wood varieties. The distinctive Oseleta, a grape variety rediscovered by Mas, enhances the skillful use of native grapes for the Valpolicella Classica region, including Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara.
