For over two centuries, Masi has passionately perpetuated the art of great Venetian wines. Innovative while remaining faithful to its roots, Masi stands out as the leader in Amarone. This unique wine, born from a meticulous appassimento process, where the grapes are dried before pressing, offers an aromatic richness and structure that place it among the world's oenological treasures. The nose opens with generous aromas of candied black cherries, ripe plums, and dried figs, enhanced by subtle nuances of cocoa, blond tobacco, and sweet spices, such as cinnamon and cloves. On the palate, the experience is voluptuous. The attack is full and silky, revealing velvety tannins and a perfectly balanced acidity that give this wine its liveliness despite its power. The flavors of jammy red fruits intertwine with hints of roasted coffee and licorice, resulting in a long, lingering finish imbued with a comforting warmth. Decant for ±1 hour and serve at 17°C. Wonderful with roasted duck breast, rack of venison with sour cherries, grilled veal chop with port, gorgonzola risotto, or with spicy beef stew.
