(aged in new oak barriques for 42 months)

this is best enjoyed soon

Here the nose isn’t quite as elegant as the Griotte as there is plenty of sauvage character but otherwise the red and dark berry fruit

Masi, Mazzano Amarone Valpolicella Classico Vintage:1999 it could even be consideredComplex nose, with soft raisins, earth, dried herbs, Indian spices and chocolate. Full bodied, with loads of spicy fruit coating the tannins and a very long, distinctive mineral finish. Powerful, but remains fresh. This is what Amarone is all about. Irresistible now, but will age very well. Fantastic. Best ever from Masi. Drink now. 1,150 cases made. JS
