A limited-edition Lunar New Year release, Masi Costasera Amarone 2020 celebrates the Year of the Horse with power, elegance and depth. Made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara using Masi’s signature appassimento method, it offers rich aromas of baked plums, black cherries and sweet spice. Full-bodied and smooth, with velvety tannins and a long, warming finish, this 15% Amarone is both intense and beautifully balanced. Ideal with hearty dishes or for cellaring, it’s a collectible expression of one of Valpolicella’s most iconic wines.

The Masi 2020 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera (made with 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara) shows dark fruit ripeness with meaty cherry and blackberry. Thanks to the younger vintage, you can appreciate the wine's primary intensity. A potent 15% alcohol content and a full-bodied texture sets this bottle up for a pairing with polenta and sausage. Tart cherry appears as a final send-off. Production of this popular wine is huge, with 660,000 bottles made.

The past year has been very exciting for the team at Masi thanks to new investments in Valpolicella and the up-and-coming Oltrepò Pavese region, known primarily for Pinot Noir-based sparkling wines. In Valpolicella, Masi inaugurated its Monteleone21 headquarters, tasting room and cultural center. The architecture of this showcase building is gorgeous, with modern stone walls that blend harmoniously into a terraced vineyard landscape. This is a must-see destination on your next trip to Verona.

In Oltrepò Pavese, Masi acquired historic Pinot Noir vineyards (and a beautiful Villa) to produce a new line of metodo classico sparkling wines called Moxxé del Re. The team also created a new commercial rosé called Rosa dei Masi made with Merlot sourced from across the Trevenezie IGT area and a "Prosecco con il Fondo" bottled with the lees according to local tradition. These last two wines should appeal to a young, value-conscious crowd.
