Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 'Costasera' 2020 (750 ml.) Masi
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 'Costasera' by Masi is a rich and elegant red wine, an expression of the Amarone tradition according to Masi's style. The grapes Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara come from the west-facing slopes of Valpolicella Classica, the “Coste,” which enjoy excellent sun exposure. After manual harvesting, the grapes are dried for about 120 days in fruit drying rooms, concentrating aromas and sugars. This is followed by a slow fermentation at low temperature and aging in Slavonian and Allier oak barrels for 24 months. On the nose, it offers aromas of cherry in spirits, cinnamon, and cocoa; on the palate, it is structured, velvety, and persistent, with ripe tannins. Perfect with red meats, game, aged cheeses or as a meditation wine.

THE COMPANY
Veneto is a region among the most suited from a wine production perspective in all of Italy. A varied and multifaceted territory, always in ferment, with emerging production realities alongside historic and prestigious names. Among the latter, one cannot fail to mention the winery Masi, a family business for seven generations that has belonged to the Boscaini family since the end of the 18th century, but which today represents one of the most important and authoritative Italian wine brands in the world.
With extensive vineyard holdings in both Italy and Argentina, where the Tupungato line gives voice to the terroir of Mendoza, the heart of the company, with the winery and the management center, remains firmly anchored to Valpolicella, the place from which the entire wine project originated. Currently managed by a well-coordinated technical group gathered in a Board of Directors chaired by Sandro Boscaini, the company, linked to the millennia-old Veneto civilization, has its roots in a historic heritage made up of exceptional terroirs and great indigenous grapes.
Furthermore, combining the oldest traditions with the most modern technology, the winery Masi is constantly active in the field of research and experimentation, to the point that it has contributed to rewriting the history of drying for the production of Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, the symbol wine of the territory, as well as being a pioneer in the recovery and use of ancient Veronese grape varieties that had almost disappeared, such as the oseleta. And it is precisely from the indigenous grapes of these territories, processed according to traditional winemaking techniques, that unique, majestic, and world-renowned wines are born, such as the Amarone itself, of which Masi probably produces the most qualified and extensive range currently available on the international market, with the “Mazzano” and “Costasera” Riserva always at the top of industry guides, both Italian and international.
