Masi Costasera

Powerful, yet refined, the Masi Amarone is a rather polshed and almost gentle giant; at 15% alcohol, this full flavored red wine is perfect with a mutton stew.

Quite dry (not sweet), soft and with bright acidity, with baked cherry, chocolate and cinnamon flavors and structured, noble tannins.

86 PTS WILFRED WONG. Offers a combination of red fruit and dusty earth in the aromas, the medium bodied '08 Masi Modello Rosso is, pleasing, all purpose red; easy in the aftertaste.

Fruity cherry and plum aromas, with vanilla, cinnamon and spice notes. Shows sublime, soft tannins on the palate, with fresh acidity. Finish is long and persistent, with ripe fruit flavors and a touch of sweet spiciness.
