Description
The Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2020 is an iconic representative of the traditional Valpolicella region and is one of Italy's style-defining Amarone wines. As the flagship of the renowned Masi Agricola, this Amarone combines origin, craftsmanship and elegance at the highest level. The term "Costasera" refers to the west-facing slopes of the classic Valpolicella zone, where the vines benefit from particularly high levels of evening sun. This extends the ripening period and ensures particularly well-balanced and deep grapes.
The cuvée of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara is vinified using the classic Appassimento method: The carefully selected grapes are dried on straw mats for several months after harvesting. During this process, they lose water and gain sugar and aroma intensity. Fermentation is followed by long ageing in Slavonian and French oak barrels, which gives the wine additional structure, complexity and fine spice. The 2020 vintage is particularly powerful and harmonious with an alcohol content of 15% vol. - a true Amarone with depth and great ageing potential. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
In the glass, the Costasera Amarone is a dense, sparkling ruby with garnet reflections. The nose reveals a multi-layered bouquet of dark cherries, dried plums, dates and raisins, complemented by cloves, cedar wood, cocoa and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety and powerful, with dense fruit, ripe tannins and a perfect balance between extract sweetness, freshness and alcohol. The finish is long, soft and complex with a hint of dark chocolate and tobacco.
Ideal with braised game, mature cheese, truffle dishes or hearty beef variations. Also a delight as a meditation wine on its own - especially after decanting. The recommended serving temperature is 17-18 °C. The Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2020 is an elegant, long-lasting and profound Amarone that harmoniously combines tradition, style and terroir. A masterpiece from Veneto - for great occasions and lasting impressions.
