Tasting Notes: This MASI's classic Amarone has a bright ruby tint on the palate. The nose is intense, with aromas of roasted fruit, cherries and plums, accompanied by sweet spices and ground coffee. The flavor is round and full, with a single flavor. The mildness and acidity balance each other. Just like the "gentle giant" synonymous with Amarone, it has a solid mouthfeel, but without losing the delicate performance, perfect acidity and velvety tannins, in the mouth you can't feel the slightly higher alcohol concentration. The aftertaste is long and the fruity aroma is strong, making people take one sip after another, the more they drink, the purer they become.
