Description
Masi and Sandro Boscaini's unrivalled expertise with the appassimento technique is evidenced by this wine. During winemaking, the grapes undergo a long period of drying on bamboo racks, and the wine ages for at least three years in wooden casks. The expert use of indigenous grapes from the Valpolicella Classico area - Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara - is enriched by the addition of the unique Oseleta, a grape variety rediscovered by Masi. Expect a rich, layered, structured wine that will show well for several decades.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of smoke and wet earth with coffee beans and pumice to the ripe fruit. Full-bodied, linear and layered with lots of ripe fruit and hints of raisins. Lightly chewy with a tannin backbone. Extremely long and powerful. Blue and black fruit. Very complex. Drinkable now, but better in 2022. Score - 95. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Nov. 7, 2019)
