The \u003cstrong\u003eCostasera\u003c\/strong\u003e from Masi is one of the most mature entry-level Amarones: approachable, yet with the typical intensity of the appassimento method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Masi has been cultivating vineyards in \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e , the historic heartland east of Lake Garda, since the 18th century. Their Costasera blends the three classic grape varieties Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. After harvesting, the grapes dry for several months on bamboo trellises ( \u003ci\u003earele\u003c\/i\u003e ) before fermentation. This significantly concentrates the sugars, aromas, and extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass \u003cstrong\u003e, aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and black plum\u003c\/strong\u003e are revealed, complemented by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and a touch of cedar. The body is full, the tannins velvety and well-integrated, the finish long and slightly bitter—typical of the grape variety and winemaking style. A 95-point rating from James Suckling (2015 vintage) confirms this quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFood pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Braised beef cheek, venison ragù, pecorino stagionato, or dark chocolate (over 70%). \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–18 °C, ideally open an hour beforehand. The 0.375-liter bottle is perfect for two glasses to accompany the cheese course.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masi","offers":[{"title":"2019","offer_id":52694866690384,"sku":"V06050h","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2020","offer_id":53093138006352,"sku":"V06050h-2020","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/costasera-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-0375l-2x.webp?v=1783526973","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/costasera-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-0375l","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
