The Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico DOCG 2019 is a refined, powerful and complex red wine from Veneto that masterfully captures the essence of the historic Valpolicella Classico region. Produced by the renowned Masi Agricola winery, this Amarone stands for the very highest quality, traditional craftsmanship and unmistakable provenance. The Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Molinara grape varieties are carefully selected and vinified using the classic appassimento method – whereby the grapes are dried on bamboo racks for several months to concentrate their sugar content and aromas.


The vineyards of the Costasera Lager are situated on west-facing slopes overlooking Lake Garda, where the vines benefit from optimal sunshine and the cool breezes from the lake. After fermentation, the wine matures for several years in oak barrels, giving it its distinctive depth, structure and complexity. The Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico is the result of decades of experience and is regarded as the benchmark for the appellation – a wine of majestic power, elegance and exceptional longevity.

The Masi Riserva Costasera Amarone Classico DOCG 2019 pairs superbly with delicate red meats, tender game and aromatic, mature cheeses. It also reveals its full expressiveness when paired with braised beef, rack of lamb, truffle dishes or risotto with Parmesan. Served at 16–18 °C, it displays its elegant balance between power and finesse. It will be at its best between 2025 and 2040, as this wine continues to gain depth and complexity with further ageing. A magnificent Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva that delights with its structure, intensity and aristocratic elegance – a meisterwerk from the house of Masi.
