The Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico DOCG 2019 is a noble, powerful and complex red wine from Veneto that masterfully captures the essence of the traditional Valpolicella Classico region. Produced by the renowned Masi Agricola winery, this Amarone stands for the highest quality, traditional craftsmanship and unmistakable origin. The Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Molinara grape varieties are carefully selected and vinified using the classic appassimento method - the grapes are left to dry on bamboo racks for several months to concentrate their sugar content and aromas.
The Costasera vineyards are located on west-facing slopes on Lake Garda, where the vines benefit from optimal sunlight and cool lake breezes. After fermentation, the wine matures for several years in oak barrels, giving it its unmistakable depth, structure and complexity. The Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico is the result of decades of experience and is considered a reference for the appellation - a wine of majestic power, elegance and exceptional longevity.

Tasting notes:
In the glass, the Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico 2019 is a deep ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose reveals a complex interplay of aromas of ripe cherries, plums and dried fruit, accompanied by notes of cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with a dense structure and ripe, well-integrated tannins. The aromas of dark berries, dark chocolate and mocha combine with a fine spiciness and lead to a long, elegant finish with balsamic notes.
Residual sugar content: 6.5 g/l
The Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico DOCG 2019 harmonizes perfectly with delicate red meat, tender game and aromatic, mature cheeses. It also unfolds its full expressive power with braised beef, rack of lamb, truffle dishes or risotto with Parmesan. Served at 16-18 °C, it shows its elegant balance between power and finesse. It is best drunk between 2025 and 2040, as this wine continues to gain depth and complexity with ageing. A great Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva that impresses with its structure, intensity and aristocratic elegance - a masterpiece from Masi. (automated translation)
