Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

In 1958, Masi was in the forefront of the work to identify the historic "cru" vineyard sites for Amarone. Dark red with aromas of black and red fruits and spice. On the palate sweet cherry and dried plum flavors with cacao and tobacco notes with oven spices. Soft smooth tannins well balanced with acidity on a long finish. Great sipping wine!

More non fruit character than previous wine. Loads of tobacco, leather, spice. Somewhat linear
