Description
- Baked fruit
- Coffee & cocoa
- Full bodied
- Well balanced
Very dark ruby red in the glass with a nose full of baked fruit, plums and cherries. Fruit-forward palate with hints of coffee and cocoa. Very well balanced.
A red blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara varietals.
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 unrivalled 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.
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.
