Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2007

Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2007 is a powerful and iconic red with intense aromas of dried cherry, fig and plum layered with notes of cocoa, spice and tobacco. The palate is full-bodied and richly concentrated, offering velvety tannins, balanced acidity and deep flavors of dark fruit, chocolate and sweet spice. Its smooth, opulent texture leads to a long, warming finish with exceptional depth and complexity.

Food Pairing: Braised beef, game dishes, aged cheeses and rich risottos.

93 Points - James Suckling

Sandalwood, balsamic, cinnamon, spruce and pine. The tertiary maturation has done this favours. A fine, mature Amarone. Rich, nourishing and avuncular. Like taking your shoes off and stretching into a freshly polished armchair. Lovely drinking, although the finish is slightly drying, suggesting that this needs breaching, preferably with food, sooner rather than later.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A juicy Amarone that partners a silky texture with supple tannins, delivering dark flavors of brambly berry fruit and ripe black cherry, layered with smoke, vanilla, anise and clove. There's seamless integration, with a long finish that echoes the pure fruit flavor. Drink now through 2030. 6,000 cases imported.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Costasera is a dark, brooding wine that boasts a dark side, aromatically speaking, in the form of Indian spice, clove, cola, cured meat, bresaola, blackberry and currant. The mouthfeel is dense, chewy and very, very opulent.
