MASI VAL
One of the classics of the great Veronese tradition, made by Masi in a contemporary style. Valpolicella Classico, praised by Hemingway as “a light, dry red wine, as friendly as the house of a favourite brother”, is made here in an elegant style full of simplicity and freshness. Made in the Valpolicella Classica region from a blend using the traditional Veronese grapes: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara.
Grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara.
Tasting notes
Look: medium intensity cherry red.
Nose: intense bouquet with ripe cherry aromas.
Palate: fresh with good acidity, soft and silky tannins.
Cherries are the dominant flavour, with hints of vanilla.
Food pairing Typically versatile and good throughout the meal; excellent with soups, pasta and risotto. Enhances both simple food and more complicated dishes based on red meat and moderately aged cheeses.
Serving temperature: 18° C
Note - Bonacosta: the foot of the hillside vineyards in the Classico zone, richer in top-soil, benefit from soft valley breezes and an excellent exposition.
