From a classic vintage, the Masi 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera hits all the high marks. It offers a concentrated expression of dark fruit that remains firm and fresh and offers good tension along the way. The wine definitely reveals that characteristic Amarone intensity that comes from air-dried fruit. However, this cool vintage remains especially fine and elegant throughout. It imparts a smooth and silky texture, capped by pretty freshness.
