"Proud, majestic, complex and exuberant: this is a special cru version of Masi's gentle giant, Costasera. A benchmark for the Amarone category, which, together with Barolo and Brunello, makes up the aristocracy of the Italian wine world. Opaque dark red. Intense, super-ripe fruit, cinnamon and vanilla aromas. Warm and satisfying, baked fruit, sweet spices, cooked cherries, cloves, dry and long finish." —winemaker

"Imagine warm strawberry-cherry compote mingling with night-blooming jasmine and violet petals. The story starts floral and bright, then shifts as fine tannins frame everything in silk while pomegranate and wild cherry keep the energy flowing. A Riserva that proves concentration doesn't need weight." —Wine Enthusiast
"The 2019 Amarone Classico Costasera Riserva is a seductress, bursting from the glass with a collage of spiced orange, rosemary, cedar box and dried black cherries. It pulses across the palate with energy and verve, displaying tart wild berry fruits and sour citrus tones propelled by a core of zesty acidity. Despite its energy, the 2019 shows fantastic complexity throughout and finishes with a classically dry sensation and a framework of sweet tannins." —Vinous
"A complex and deep wine. Highlights of dark chocolate and black pepper over black cherries. Refined and condensed tannins with exuberant, racy acidity and full body. Powerful, this has cellaring potential. Drinkable now but best from 2029." —James Suckling

"Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi is an intense color. The deep concentration of red fruits where the currant predominates evolves into spicy, fresh and balsamic notes. In the mouth, the rich and round body opens up with dense tannins, characterized by a great evolutionary harmony. Fresh, intense and balsamic, its long persistence is leaded by its prominent acidity." —winemaker

"Guado al Tasso 2022 is an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with floral notes and aromas of red fruit that lead over to hints of sweet spices especially tobacco and licorice root. The palate is silky and savory with outstanding balance and dimension that balance perfectly with the elegant tannic structure. This wine can be enjoyed immediately but has excellent aging potential for the years to come." —winemaker
