Masi Costasera Amarone Classico
Masi Agricola Spa
Masi, a historic winery with roots tracing back to the 18th century, is renowned for its dedication to the Amarone tradition. The 'Costasera' Amarone Classico is one of their flagship wines, representing the pinnacle of their expertise in the appassimento method. This wine is crafted from grapes meticulously hand-harvested from the most prestigious hillside vineyards ('coste' meaning hillsides, 'sera' meaning evening, referring to the optimal west-facing slopes). After harvest, the grapes are carefully laid out on bamboo racks in drying lofts (fruttai) for several months, concentrating their essence. This ancient technique, combined with Masi's modern winemaking precision, results in a powerful yet refined wine that embodies the rich history and passion of Valpolicella. It's a wine that speaks of tradition, patience, and the unique character of its origin.

"A female jazz vocalist playlist for an intimate the character of Valpolicella jazz club at midnight. channeling Nina Simone's intensity and Cassandra Wilson's depth. The full body calls for powerful, commanding vocals with a big band or orchestral jazz arrangement. The rhythm should be a natural, easy swing to match the firm tannins. The energy is balanced warmth, reflecting the medium-plus acidity. The tasting notes of dried cherries, prunes, raisins, concentrated black cherry, fig translate to smooth, creamy arrangements, smoky, late-night atmosphere, raw, textured vocal delivery, rich, indulgent bass and vocals. Keep the tempo slow and unhurried, 60-80 BPM."
