Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 75cl

Masi's Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a distinguished Italian red wine that embodies the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of the Veneto region. Produced using the traditional appassimento method, this Amarone is crafted from a blend of indigenous Veronese grape varieties: Corvina (70%), Rondinella (25%), and Molinara (5%). The grapes are carefully dried for several months to concentrate their flavours before fermentation, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and complexity.

This wine boasts significant aging potential, with the ability to develop further complexity over 30-35 years when stored under appropriate conditions.
