Masi Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG

The finish is long and dry with the same hints of fruitiness and spiciness shown on the nose earlier.
Amarone is 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.
