Masi Bonacosta Valpolicella Classico DOC 2019 (Italy)

Description

• Slavonian oak
• Ripe cherry & vanilla
• Medium-bodied
• Silky tannins

Medium intensity cherry red in colour. Intense bouquet with ripe cherry aromas. Fresh with good acidity, soft and silky tannins. Cherries are the dominant flavour, with hints of vanilla.

Made in the Valpolicella Classica region from a blend using the traditional Veronese grapes: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Bonacosta: the foot of the hillside vineyards in the Classico zone, richer in top-soil, benefit from soft valley breezes and an excellent exposition

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. 

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.
