help Masi Costasera Amarone FAQ

Which grapes are used in Masi Costasera Amarone?

Costasera uses the traditional Valpolicella varieties Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Masi dries the harvested grapes on bamboo racks during winter using the appassimento process.

Is Costasera made with the same method as Masi Campofiorin?

No. Costasera is an Amarone made from dried grapes, while Campofiorin uses Masi's double-fermentation method with wine refermented on partially dried grapes.

Why is the wine called Costasera?

The name refers to west-facing slopes in Valpolicella Classica that receive the evening sun. Those hillside sites are associated with Masi's historic production area in the Veneto.

What food works with Masi Costasera Amarone?

Its concentrated fruit and substantial alcohol suit braised beef, game and aged cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano. It can also be served after dinner, but its dry profile distinguishes it from the sweet Valpolicella wine Recioto.
