Masi Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2015 is a masterful representation of Italy’s Valpolicella region, showcasing traditional craftsmanship and premium quality. This distinguished Amarone is composed of a classic blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, and 5% Molinara grapes, meticulously harvested from prime vineyards and dried using the time-honored appassimento technique. This method concentrates the grapes’ sugars and flavors, delivering a wine that is richly textured and profoundly aromatic.

The 2015 vintage is especially notable due to ideal weather conditions throughout the growing season in Valpolicella, which fostered optimal ripeness and balance in the grapes. The resulting wine exhibits remarkable complexity and depth, with luscious notes of ripe cherry and dark plum harmonizing with delicate hints of spice, cocoa, and chocolate. Its elegant tannic structure and a long, smooth finish contribute to the wine’s outstanding aging potential and refined character.

Esteemed by critics, this vintage earned an impressive 95 points from James Suckling, reflecting its exceptional quality and distinction. Sourced exclusively from a premium private cellar, the bottle guarantees authenticity and superior condition. Masi’s legacy as a pioneering producer of refined Italian reds is evident in this Amarone, which perfectly balances tradition with innovation.

This Amarone della Valpolicella Classico pairs exquisitely with rich, hearty dishes such as braised meats, mature cheeses, and robust pasta sauces, enhancing the dining experience with its full body and intricate flavor profile. Whether reserved for special occasions or as a treasured addition to a wine collection, the 2015 Masi Costasera Amarone offers a captivating taste of one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions.

Reviews

This opens beautifully to reveal violets, blueberries, licorice, citrus, oyster shell and orange rind. So velvety and polished, but with real depth and structure. Medium-to full-bodied with delightful fruit and a long finish. Drink in 2021 but already so satisfying.
