2020 Masi "Costasera" Amarone Della Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2020 vintage of āCostaseraā is a hallmark of Masiās Amarone expertise, crafted using the traditional appassimento method: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes are dried on bamboo racks during the winter months to concentrate sugars and complexity. Aged in Slavonian oak barrels and smaller Allier and cherry wood casks, the wine offers layered aromatics of macerated dark fruit, dried herbs, and subtle incense. The vineyardās west-facing slopeāla costa seraāreceives more evening sunlight, resulting in richer phenolic ripeness and a deeper, fuller wine. This Amarone pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, braised meats, game, and rich risottos, and will evolve gracefully over the next decade.
