Masi 2017 Costasera Amarone Classico

Veneto, Italy

A beautiful red wine from a historic winery in northeastern Italy. Dark ruby red in colour, it has an intense and complex bouquet of red and black fruits such as cherries and plums, as well as spices and a hint of chocolate. It is full-bodied and velvety, with balanced tannins and a long and persistent finish.

"The product of Masi's unrivalled expertise in the appassimento technique, whereby traditional grapes for the Valpolicella Classica area - Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara - are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months." - Winery
