The Story
The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG “Costasera – Lunar New Year Snake” 2019 by Masi is a limited-edition collector’s bottle crafted in celebration of the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake. This vintage reflects Masi’s expertise with the Appassimento technique, using Valpolicella Classica’s Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, dried on bamboo racks throughout winter to concentrate their aromas.
93 Points - James Suckling
Rich and spicy on the nose with dried-berry, plum, walnut and bark aromas and flavors. Lush and velvety on the palate with depth and generosity to the fruit. Sweetish, chocolatey aftertaste. Chunky. Drink or hold.
