Costasera Riserva

Riserva Costasera is the prestigious Riserva version of Masi’s iconic Costasera Amarone: an imposing, complex and concentrated Amarone that combines richness and finesse to stand as a reference within the Amarone range.

In the glass Riserva Costasera reveals warm, baked fruit tones of stewed cherries and dark berries, framed by fine spices, cocoa and coffee accents and a subtle herbal note; the palate is full, rounded and long with a dry, persistent finish. The inclusion of the re discovered Oseleta grape enriches colour, structure and tannins and contributes to the cuvée’s depth.

Production follows the classic appassimento method: selected grapes undergo a long drying period on bamboo racks to boost aromas and concentration, followed by extended ageing of at least three years in fine wooden barrels to refine complexity and balance.

Serve Riserva Costasera at 16–18 °C and pair it with richer dishes: braised or roasted red meat, game, intensely prepared pasta sauces and well aged cheeses. It is a meditative wine that both impresses immediately and continues to evolve with further bottle ageing.

This is a majestic, carefully composed Amarone Riserva that embodies Masi’s mastery of appassimento and barrel ageing, translating the best of Valpolicella Classica into a long lasting and impressive tasting experience.
