Masi - Mazzano - Amarone Classico
Description
Overview: The Boscaini family keeps a unique collection of fine wines in its private cellars,
produced in limited quantities and only in the best years, which the family likes to share with lovers of Masi wines.
Mazzano is an austere and majestic wine, the prototype for Amarone. The grapes come from the eponymous vineyard, famous for the quality of its produce since the XII century, and are laid out in traditional drying lofts during the cold winter months.
Tasting Notes: Opaque ruby red with burnished reflections. Powerful aromas of cherries preserved in spirit and plums. Majestic, with tastes of marasca cherries and blueberries.
Complex aftertaste with surprising length.
Pairing: Definitely a “food wine”. Good with red meat, game, quails, and gutsy dishes. Excellent with mature cheeses such as parmesan and pecorino.
