Masi’s "Costasera" Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva is a profound and opulent expression of the appassimento method, showcasing intensity, structure, and remarkable aging potential. The nose is deep and layered, unveiling ripe black cherry, dried plum, and fig preserves, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, and exotic spice. On the palate, a rich, full-bodied texture is supported by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, balancing the wine’s concentrated fruit and tertiary complexity. Hints of espresso, licorice, and balsamic depth unfold on the long, resonant finish. A powerful yet elegantly structured Amarone, built for extended cellaring.
