Masi Costasera Amarone Classico DOCG 2020 15% Vol. 0,75l

The Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2020 is an iconic representative of the traditional Valpolicella region and is one of Italy's most stylistically influential Amarone wines. As the flagship of the renowned Masi Agricola winery, this Amarone combines origin, craftsmanship, and elegance at the highest level. The term "Costasera" refers to the west-facing slopes of the classic Valpolicella zone, where the vines benefit from particularly abundant evening sun. This extends the ripening period and ensures particularly balanced and profound grapes.

The blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara is vinified using the classic appassimento method: The carefully selected grapes are dried on straw mats for several months after harvest. This process causes them to lose water and gain sugar and aromatic intensity. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a long aging process in Slavonian and French oak barrels, which adds structure, complexity, and a delicate spiciness. The 2020 vintage is particularly powerful and harmonious with an alcohol content of 15% vol. – a true Amarone with depth and great aging potential.
