Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva DOCG Costasera 2016 Masi

This Amarone Riserva represents a special selection of Costasera, the gentle giant of Masi. It is a point of reference for the Amaroni category, which together with Barolo and Brunello represents the aristocracy of Italian reds.

The Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, with small additions from the rediscovery Oseleta, are left to overripe on bamboo racks, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature and aging for at least 3 years in noble wood.

In the glass it is cloaked in a beautiful impenetrable dark red. The olfactory bouquet is intense, with hints of overripe red fruit, cinnamon and vanilla. The palate is warm and persuasive, with notes of cooked fruit, sweet spices and a long, dry finish.

Perfect with red meats and game, it is ideal with aged cheeses or to be sipped at the end of a meal.
