2013 Masi Mazzano Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG

A vibrant, harmonious red, offering a rich panoply of blackberry confit, dried raspberry, iron, smoke and aromatic overtones of fresh thyme, violet and clove. Tightly meshed yet still expressive, with sculpted, deftly knit tannins providing pleasing tension. Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella. Drink now through 2035.

This is a powerful and brooding wine. Blackberry, blueberry, purple flowers and sweet baking spices meld seamlessly together on the nose. The power of the wine is immediate and impressive, with firm tannins demanding your patience. The wine gifts you sweet tobacco, dried herbs and spiced plums on the finish, just enticing you to see what happens next.
