Subtle aromatic hints, that range from black cherry, blueberry to chocolate, anticipate the opulent expression of mature fruit that flows into the mouth with inadvertent persistence. Nuances of truffle, tobacco and new leather wrap around the finish.

Description
Description
Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: this is a special cru version of Masi’s gentle giant, Costasera. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the
Italian wine world.
Here Masi’s unrivalled expertise in the Appassimento technique is used to give the grapes a long period of further ripening on bamboo racks and an ageing period for the wine of at least three years in casks made from the finest wood types. The expert use of indigenous grapes for the Valpolicella Classica area - Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara – is enriched by the addition of the unique Oseleta, a grape variety rediscovered by Masi.
Tasting Notes
Opaque dark red. Nose of intense, super-ripe fruit, cinnamon, vanilla. This wine is warm and satisfying, with loads of baked fruit, sweet spices, cooked cherries, cloves. Ending on a beautiful, dry and long finish.
Serving Suggestions
Ideal with red meat, game and mature cheeses. Fine after-dinner drink.
