AMAZING AMARONE
A company with more than 4 million bottles a year and undoubtedly high quality standards, Masi perfectly blends an awareness of the value of tradition with innovations aimed at achieving its objectives. A great work of research, that of the Boscaini family, in constantly pursuing absolute quality in each of their products and Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera is the confirmation of this: the best vineyards, those whose rows turn towards the sunset over Lake Garda, so as to be able to capture even the last ray of sunlight and enjoy the best climate for ripening the grapes. A complex and powerful Amarone, with aristocratic sensations and perfect taste balance; a wine that, if one has the patience to let it rest in the cellar, will give great satisfaction.
It seduces the eye with its deep ruby red colour. It expresses an enveloping nose, where spicy notes blend with fruity and floral sensations of great intensity. Aromas of cinnamon, liquorice, cigar box, follow on from hints of dried flowers, blackberries in jam, cherries in fruit, coffee, blond tobacco. In the mouth it is powerful and balanced, very soft in the gustatory attack, then releases caressing toasted notes of interminable persistence.
To be enjoyed with roast and braised game or red meats and with very old cheeses.
The Winery
The history of Masi corresponds to the history of the Boscaini family, one of the most important families in Italian viticulture. A history inextricably linked to that of its vineyards: the winery's name derives from 'Vaio dei Masi', meaning 'little valley of Masi', a vineyard located in Negrar, in the heart of Valpolicella, which the Boscaini family acquired at the end of the 18th century and where everything began. Over the course of time, the company has grown further through successive acquisitions in the classic areas of Valpolicella, Bardolino and Soave, which have always been suited to a viticulture that aims for excellence, also benefiting from the collaboration of the Serego Alighieri Counts, who belong to the descendants of the poet Dante. It has also developed projects in Tuscany, Rovereto (Trento) and Argentina. Today, the company is managed by a well-coordinated team of experts with Sandro Boscaini as President and CEO, well supported by his daughter Alessandra, responsible for administration and sales. In addition to the special attention paid to the selection of vineyards, the Masi company is above all committed to safeguarding the autochthonous techniques of viticulture, with a centuries-old tradition, with constant updating towards innovation. The result is products of absolute value, in which the uniqueness and character of each individual wine is exalted, keeping faith with a precise style. Masi is a leader in the production of historic wines such as Amarone, made using the appassimento technique, with the "Mazzano" and the "Costasera" Riserva, always at the top of Italian and international wine guides. It has also rediscovered and improved the double fermentation technique that gives life to 'Campofiorin', ironically nicknamed 'Supervenetian' and, still in the classic Veronese area, it is a protagonist with white wines such as Soave 'Levarìe', from Garganega and Trebbiano grapes. Considering its holdings in the prestigious Trento DOC, the 'Altemasi' line, a rib of the famous and historic Cavit cooperative, is the perfect bubbly for every occasion.
