Introduction
Masi Costasera Amarone 2019 represents the pinnacle of Veneto winemaking, born from sun-drenched vineyards overlooking Lake Garda. Crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are semi-dried to intensify richness, this wine is a benchmark of Amarone style. A harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, it expresses the bold spirit of the Valpolicella Classico region.
Character Description
Deep ruby red with garnet highlights, this Amarone opens with intense aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and dried figs, layered with warm spices, cocoa, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with flavors of black cherry compote, cinnamon, and a touch of licorice. The tannins are refined and well-integrated, leading to a long, luxurious finish that balances richness with freshness.
Perfect Pairings
Masi Costasera Amarone pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses. It’s a perfect companion to slow-cooked osso buco, truffle risotto, or grilled lamb. For a refined experience, serve alongside dark chocolate desserts or enjoy it as a meditative wine on its own, slowly sipped and savored.
