Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: this is Masi's gentle giant. The appearance of this wine is ruby red. The aroma offers a beautiful bouquet, rich and complex, composed of many flavors such as ripe berries, baked plum, cherry and dried strawberry, tobacco, moka, nutmeg, licorice and cloves. The taste is sustained in the sip, characterized by a good tannic texture and long persistence.
Excellent as an after-dinner wine, or to go with red meat, game, quails and richly flavoured dishes. Very good with well-aged cheeses, such as parmesan, pecorino and gorgonzola.
70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella e 5% Molinara.
Aged for 24 months in oak barrel of Slavonia for 80% and 20% in Allier barriques.
The product of Masi's unrivalled expertise in the appassimento technique, whereby traditional grapes for the Valpolicella Classica area - Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara - are laid out on bamboo racks to concentrate their aromas during the winter months.
