MASI vinifies a modern style of red from an assemblage of traditional Veronese grapes, mostly Corvina with a lesser component of Rondinella and minor portion of Molinara. MASI drinks well with many dishes, from grilled meats to pasta. Bonacosta refers to the area at the foot of the slopes where MASI grow grapes for Amarone. The gentle aspects are endowed with rich top soils, as the vines are rejuvenated by soft valley breezes which stimulate the fruit to develop vital flavours and cozy tannins.

$2699each $321DOZEN EACH DOZEN The Masi vineyards in the hills of the historic Valpolicella Classico zone are positioned over red calcareous sediments on basalt soils. Grapes are harvested separately, mid September for the Molinara and Rondinella, end of September for Corvina. Juices are left in contact with skins, sixteen days for he Corvina and ten for the other components. Inoculated by select yeasts, the fermentations are carried out under strictly controlled temperatures 25°C to 28°C for twenty days followed by complete malolactic. The finished wine is matured in Slavonian oak barrels, a portion of the Corvina is treated to new Allier and Slavonian small oak casks, followed by a spell of bottle ageing. Alcohol 12.4%

Fruit analysis in the vineyard at vintage confirms an excellent balance of sugars and total acidity. After a soft crushing, a small portion of the grapes are treated to a criomaceration for twenty four hours at 5°C. The remaining components are traditionally vinified for fifteen to twenty days at 12°C to 16°C in tanks using select yeasts. The malolactic fermentation is partially completed, according to the demands of vintage. Most of the wine is matured four months in 100hl and 500hl tanks while a minor component is aged in oak.
