Masi Amarone Classico Riserva di Costasera 2017

Majestic, complex and exuberant, this special cru of Costasera (the finest terroir for Amarone in Valpolicella Classico) is a benchmark for Amarone, which complements Barolo and Brunello as the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Using Masi's unrivalled expertise in the appassimento method Valpolicella Classico’s indigenous grapes (Corvina and Rondinella) are blended with the rediscovered Oseleta grape before undergoing maturation in a combination of Slovenian and Allier oak for up to 40 months followed by a further 6 months in bottle. Thick, deep, ruby red in colour. Elegant and intense aromas of ripe berry fruit, and fruit preserved in spirit accompanied by delicate hints of cocoa and cinnamon. Firm and full bodied structure on the palate, with silky tannins, smooth alcohol and a refreshing acidity to give balance and measure. Very long on the finish with tastes of marasca cherries and cinnamon. Riserva di Costasera can age for 30-35 years.

Delivery Times

We aim to to have your delivery with you within 5-7 working days of receiving your order, but often it can be much sooner. If you need your order by a certain date please get in touch and we'll do our best to get it to you as required.

 

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
