This is a beautiful wine by the technical winemaking team at Masi. The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Costasera opens to a midnight black appearance and thick concentration. On first nose, you really get a sense of the power and depth of this wine. The bouquet is redolent of dried blackberry and plum with spice, barbecue smoke and cured meat. The wine is textured and powerful in terms of mouthfeel with a thick coating of dark flavors that wrap thickly over the palate. Masi's Riserva Amarone shows great results in warm vintages like this.

Fig, molasses, cherry. Maybe a bit of tobacco? Made me want a cigar. Great wine.

Bought at wine store in cernobbio. Very good, typical amarone. Not as sweet and too raisiny like traditional amarone though and has more complexity. Very good value at 40 euros
