The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Amarone della Valpolicella Costasera Lunar 2018 by Masi is an oenological masterpiece that represents both the tradition and innovation of the Venetian winery. Masi, synonymous with excellence in Amarone production, offers a unique version of this famous wine, the "Lunar," born from an approach that respects nature and its phases. The 2018 vintage, the result of a careful selection of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, comes from vineyards located on the hills of Valpolicella, characterized by mineral-rich soils and optimal sun exposure. The name "Costasera" refers to the west-facing slopes, where the sunset gives the grapes optimal maturation. After manual harvesting, the grapes are dried for months in the fruit drying room, following the traditional appassimento method, which concentrates sugars, aromas, and structure. The aging takes place in oak barrels, giving the wine complexity and depth.

Amarone della Valpolicella Costasera Lunar 2018 - Masi: Tasting Notes

In the glass, the Amarone Lunar presents an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it explodes with a rich and enveloping bouquet of ripe red fruits, sour cherry, plum, and hints of jam, enhanced by spicy notes of cinnamon, cocoa, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a pleasant smoothness. The balance between acidity and sweetness makes it harmonious and persistent. Perfect with roasts, game, and aged cheeses, it is also an excellent choice for meditation.
