Description

Amarone Costasera Masi hails from the vineyards overlooking picturesque Lake Garda, in the Valpolicella Classica area, one of the reference points for this type of wine, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, symbolizes the aristocracy of Italian red wines. Masi's Costasera is the result of the winery's long experience in drying techniques.

Masi's Amarone Classico Costasera is made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, all harvested and selected by hand. Once harvested, the grapes are placed on bamboo racks, which allow air to circulate between the grapes and limit the formation of mould. The grapes remain on the racks throughout the winter, concentrating sugars and aromas thanks to the slow drying process. Once the grapes have reached an ideal degree of dryness, they are pressed and undergo alcoholic fermentation. Most of the wine thus obtained is aged for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, the rest in barriques.

Costasera Masi Amarone has an intense ruby red colour. The nose opens with an intense bouquet of cooked fruit, plums and cherries. On the palate it is fruity, enriched with aromas of coffee and cocoa, which make it a refined, balanced and pleasantly elegant wine that goes well with roast, braised and stewed red meats and game, as well as seasoned cheeses.


Why is Amarone Costasera Masi called this way?

Amarone Costasera bears this name because the Masi winery believes that the coasts facing the sunset, in Valpolicella Classica, are the best for the production of a great Amarone.

These are the vineyards that enjoy longer hours of sunshine and benefit from the reflection of the light on Lake Garda. Thanks to these particularly favourable climatic conditions, the grapes here reach perfect ripeness.

Amarone Costasera is also available in the Riserva and Nectar versions, which contain a higher percentage of the Corvina grapes, giving this wine even more softness and roundness.
