Tasting notes
The estate's 2001 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Mazzano is a big, dense wine. This expansive, generous red possesses beautiful layers of dark plums, prunes, leather, coffee beans and grilled herbs with superb density and fine overall balance. Although the style is similar here to that of the Campolongo di Torbe, the Mazzano shows an additional level of depth and vibrancy. This is an exceptional wine.

Masi is one of Veneto's most historic houses. I was pleasantly surprised by this strong set of wines, which far outpaces last year's offerings. Importer: Remy Cointreau USA, New York, NY; tel.
