Description

Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant. This is a special cru version of Masi’s gentle giant, Costasera. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Here Masi’s unrivalled expertise in the Appassimento technique is used to give the grapes a long period of further ripening on bamboo racks and an ageing period for the wine of at least three years in casks made from the finest wood types. The expert use of indigenous grapes for the Valpolicella Classico area - Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara – is enriched by adding the unique Oseleta, a grape variety rediscovered by Masi.

Masi Agricola was founded in 1772 when the Boscaini family purchased the first vineyards in the small valley called Vaio dei Masi, from which the company takes its name. After 200 years, the family still manages the company and continues to produce labels of high quality.

A technical group of experts in the field, coordinated by Raffaele Boscaini, carries out research projects and experiments on traditional local grape varieties. Masi owns organic estates in Tuscany and Argentina and has been collaborating for over forty years with the regional companies Conti Serego Alighieri and Canevel and Conti Bossi Fedrigotti in Trentino.
