Masi Costasera Amarone Classico DOC

Amarone is the wine Italians make by refusing to hurry: the grapes dry on racks for months before pressing, concentrating everything, and the result is one of the biggest reds in the world. Masi Costasera Amarone Classico is the reference bottling from a family in Valpolicella since 1772. Costasera means the evening side; the vines face the sunset across Lake Garda, ripening a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. Expect dried cherry and plum, baked spice, cocoa, velvet weight. As an Amarone wine gift it lands with the recipients who take wine seriously, and it flatters everyone else.

Suited to top clients, mentors, retirements, and winter holiday lists; this is the fireplace-and-long-dinner bottle.

• The method is the talking point. Months of air-drying the grapes before fermentation is a story any recipient can retell at the table.
• Two hundred fifty years in the region. Masi has worked Valpolicella since 1772, and Costasera is its signature.
• It comes across as a generous gift. The dense, warming style makes it feel bigger than the bottle.
• Winter is its season. For November and December lists, few wines fit the moment this precisely.

Is Masi Costasera a good Amarone wine gift?

Yes, it's the classic choice. Masi has made wine in Valpolicella since 1772, Costasera is its benchmark Amarone, and the rich, air-dried-grape style makes an unmistakably generous impression. Prime Wines delivers it gift-wrapped with your message across the US and Canada.

Does Costasera Amarone need to age, or can the recipient open it right away?

It's ready on arrival. The months of grape-drying build in the depth that other big reds need cellar years to find, so it drinks richly now, and it will also hold for a decade if the recipient prefers to wait.
