Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: this is a special cru version of Masi's gentle giant, Costasera. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Opaque dark red. Intense, super-ripe fruit, cinnamon, vanilla. Warm and satisfying, baked fruit, sweet spices, cooked cherries, cloves, dry and long finish. Attractively long finish.
Ideal with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Fine after-dinner drink.
Syrupy, dark and very rich, the 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Costasera is a full-bodied red wine and a very nice one indeed. Tar and tobacco appear in the mouth, with a very thick and velvety texture balanced with a 15.5% alcohol content. This is a hot-vintage blend of 70% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta and 5% Molinara that sees a long appassimento period of up to 120 days. With up to 40 months of oak aging in 600-liter Slavonian casks, this wine shows dark concentration, black fruit flavors and thick intensity. The mouthfeel is seamless; however, the wine definitely flexes its muscles, something you'd serve with a Hungarian goulash and freshly baked bread, for example. Some 46,000 bottles were made.
A rich and fruity red with chocolate and berry character. Full body, round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish.
