MASI Amarone Riserva Costasera (15.%,75cl)
Masi Agricola is one of the more ubiquitous winemakers of the Valpolicella area of northern Italy. I’ve found their regular bottle of Costasera Amarone, their Valpolicella Superiore, their Campofiorin “Supervenetian” and their “Masianco” white blend in several stores around Denver, and I have always had good luck pairing them in the kitchen.
Masi is a ubiquitous name for a reason: their five different bottles of Amarone account for 20% of the market. Back in June, we featured their entry-level Costasera in our first-taste guide to this Amarone. But while that bottle shares the same vineyard as the Riserva, it may as well be from another planet. Rarely have a come across a wine this dark, complex and yet, lovely. It’s the wine equivalent of a stout. You wouldn’t drink it on a hot summer day, but on a winter’s night when you don’t mind a beverage that feels like a meal? Sure. Sounds good.
