“Sandalwood, balsamic, cinnamon, spruce and pine. The tertiary maturation has done this favour. A fine, mature Amarone. Rich, nourishing, and avuncular. Like taking your shoes off and stretching into a freshly polished armchair. Lovely drinking, although the finish is slightly drying, suggesting that this needs breaching, preferably with food, sooner rather than later.” James Suckling 93/100 (Tasted on 12.04.2023)

Proud, majestic, complex, and exuberant: this is Masi’s gentle giant. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world.

The product of Masi’s unrivaled expertise in the appassimento technique, whereby traditional grapes for the Valpolicella Classica area – Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara – are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months.

Grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara

Tasting Notes:

Look	very dark ruby red.
Nose	baked fruit, plums and cherries.
Palate	fruity tastes, with hints of coffee and cocoa. Very well balanced.

Food pairing: Excellent as an after-dinner wine, or to go with red meat, game, quails and richly flavoured dishes. Very good with well-aged cheeses, such as parmesan, pecorino and gorgonzola.

Serving temperature: 18-20° C

Alcoholic content: 15% vol.

Storage life: 30-35 years
