About the Masi Mazzano Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2015
Back in the 1950s, Masi brought the concept of the single vineyard (or 'cru') to Veneto. One of their finest examples of a single-cru wine is the Amarone from the Mazzano plantings. The vineyard's high elevation, ideal sun exposure, and well-draining marl soil result in a boisterous, majestic wine that offers an abundance of flavours and aromas. This show-stopping double magnum will drink well now or can be cellared until 2040.
96 Points - James Suckling
The other great single vineyard here. The better, in my view. A looser soil of marl with ample volcanic content. Altitudinal in context (up to 400 metres), with little capacity for botrytis due to the brisk winds that ventilate the site while drying the 'noble rot' out. Pithy and firm. Cool of aura. Nettle and pine and that hallmark bitter cherry nobility. Yet it is the finish, a shimmer of tannic steel like the glint of a barrel, that makes this. A buffer against the teeming fruit, compressing the wine into a savoury sheath with nary a glimpse of sweetness. Drink or hold.
