Tasting notes
The Masi 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera shows the hickory smoke or barbecue spice that you often find in this category, especially throughout the first decade of the new millennium. It's interesting to note that a point of evolution or tertiary definition has set into the wine. However, it remains fresh and fruity nonetheless. In this vintage, you can taste the softness that comes with the appassimento process, and for a second, you also taste the dry skins of the grape.

The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera is a delicious wine to drink over the next few years. Soft red berries, flowers and sweet spices inform a juicy, open Amarone with good near-term appeal. This is a solid introductory-level Amarone.
