Masi Costasera Amarone Contemporary Art 2001 by HeXi

The ‘Costasera Contemporary Art’ project involves the selection of an internationally renowned artist, with origins in a country historically linked to Masi, creating a work of art dedicated to the iconic Costasera Amarone. The artist selected for the 2019 edition is Chinese artist He Xi. Creator of refined paintings on silk and rice paper, made using Chinese pigments and ink, he explores the theme of freedom from constraints, finding a reflection of the human condition in the natural world. Labels with reproductions of his work embellish a selection of bottles of Costasera 2001.

Costasera maintains the esteemed qualities of Masi’s classic Costasera Amarone. Crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, the wine is aged to perfection, striking a delicate balance between fruity and spicy notes. It showcases an opaque ruby red colour with bright edges, there are powerful aromas of bitter cherries and fruits of the forest with a hint of fruit tart. On the palate there is good structure supported by good acidity; cooked cherry flavours predominate. Long finish with soft tannins and touches of cinnamon and vanilla

A full-bodied wine for grilled or roasted red meats, game, and strong tasty cheeses, such as parmesan. Generally considered a wine for meditation, it is a great after-dinner wine.

ABV 15%
