Masi Tupungato Corbec Appassimento 2015
For those who enjoy the Amarone style wines of north-east Italy then the Masi Tupungato Corbec is a must try wine. A blend of Corvina and Malbec grapes this is a modern, innovative wine made in the Masi Tupungato La Arboleda estate in Argentina, using Masi’s expertise in the appassimento method. The elegance of the Corvina grape, with its tastes of super-ripe cherries and velvety texture, is combined with the exuberant virility and tannins of the Malbec grape to produce an outstanding taste and aroma profile. The Corbec is an impenetrable dark red in colour displaying an intense bouquet of fruits-of-the-forest and conserves, with hints of mint and cinnamon. The palate is smooth and full bodied with flavours of plums and cooked cherries leading to a long, bitter cocoa finish.
