Proud, majestic, complex, exuberant, it represents a special selection of Costasera, the gentle giant of Masi . It is a point of reference for the Amaroni category, which together with Barolo and Brunello represents the aristocracy of Italian reds. Here the authoritative expertise of Masi nell'Appassimento is interpreted with a long over-ripening of the grapes on bamboo racks and at least three years of aging in noble woods. The wise use of the native varieties of Valpolicella Classica Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara is enriched by the presence of the original Oseleta, rediscovered by Masi .
