Costasera

Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is Masi’s iconic Amarone: a majestic, powerful and complex wine regarded as a benchmark within the Amarone category. The wine expresses Masi’s proven expertise in the traditional appassimento technique and the characterful cru vineyards of Valpolicella Classica.

In the glass Costasera opens with concentrated, ripe fruit tones of cherries and dark berries, combined with refined aromas of coffee, cocoa and subtle spice. The structure is rich and balanced, with a full body and a long, persistent finish that reflects the power and finesse of this Amarone.

Production is based on the appassimento technique: carefully selected grape varieties (mainly Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara) are gently dried on bamboo racks during the winter months to increase aroma and concentration. This natural drying process, followed by careful vinification and ageing, yields the deep colour, intense aromas and complexity for which Costasera is renowned.

Costasera performs exceptionally well with robust, flavourful dishes: it is an excellent companion to red meat, game, richly sauced dishes and well aged cheeses such as Parmigiano or Pecorino. It is also ideal as a contemplative after dinner wine to be savoured and shared.

This is an iconic Amarone with a perfect balance of tradition and elegance, a showcase of Masi’s mastery of appassimento and a wine that both impresses immediately and rewards further cellar ageing.
