Masi Costasera Amarone Classico Riserva
An Amarone from the heart of the Classico zone – produced by Masi, one of Verona's most renowned wineries. The Costasera Riserva is made from dried Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes using the traditional appassimento method. The result: a dark, almost opaque red with violet reflections at the rim.
On the nose, cherry compote, ripe plum, and a hint of bay leaf. On the palate, warm and full-bodied, with cherries, blueberries, and sweet spices. The finish is long and dry – a fresh blueberry note as the final accent.
Aging: 38 to 40 months in 600-liter barrels made of Savonian oak and Allier – one-third new, one-third second-fill, one-third fifth-fill. This is followed by at least six months of bottle rest. This combination moderates the influence of new oak and allows the fruit to take center stage.
Serving temperature 17–18 °C. Best enjoyed now, aging potential until 2032+. Pairs well with braised beef, game, aged Parmigiano Reggiano or dark chocolate.

Quick answers
How does the Costasera Amarone Riserva taste?
Warm and full-bodied, with cherry compote, ripe plum, and a hint of bay leaf on the nose. On the palate, cherries, blueberries, and sweet spices are added. The finish is long and dry.
Is the Amarone dry or sweet?
It is vinified dry. The grapes are dried before pressing (Appassimento), which gives the wine fullness and ripe fruit aromas, yet the finish remains dry. The alcohol content is 15.6% vol.
What does the Costasera Amarone pair with?
Braised beef, game, and lamb, as well as pasta with a hearty sauce. Aged Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino and dark chocolate also go well with it.
At what temperature should I serve the Amarone?
About 17 to 18 °C, so slightly cooler than room temperature. Served too warm, a wine with 15.6% vol quickly seems heavy and alcohol-dominated.
How was the wine aged?
38 to 40 months in barriques, specifically in 600-liter barrels made of Slavonian oak and Allier. One-third of the barrels are new, one-third are second-fill, and one-third are fifth-fill. This is followed by at least six months of bottle rest.
Which grape varieties is the Costasera made of?
From dried Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes from the Classico zone in the Veneto. Masi, a well-known house from Verona, produces the wine in the 2021 vintage using the traditional Appassimento method.
The Winery
Masi is an Italian winery based in the north of the country in the Veneto region. It was founded in the 18th century by the Boscaini family. The winery is located in a small valley (Italian.
"Masi"), which offers very good conditions for the growth of the vines. The winery works with special processes, the so-called double fermentation and Appassimento, in which the grapes are dried for several weeks before further processing.
These processes give Masi's wines a stronger color and more complex aromas. On a total of 40 hectares of vineyards, the grapes are grown on, among other things, volcanic soils. The grape varieties used include Corvina, Refosco, Corvina, Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, as well as Chardonnay and Traminer.
