Masi 'Costasera' Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2018/19

This is produced by Masi – a byword for quality in Italian winemaking. Amarone is one of the most regulated DOCGs in Italy. Producers aren’t even allowed to pick their grapes until they’re given official word – so it takes special determination to go above and beyond in pursuit of quality. Masi make it look effortless. Their grapes are dried on special bamboo racks, then fermented for an extraordinary eighty days – about double the standard time – and matured in Slovenian oak. Masi call this their gentle giant – it's beautifully elegant and bold. Discover rich, dark-fruit flavours, with hints of coffee, cocoa and spice. Perfect for strong cheese like Gorgonzola.
