jamessuckling.com, November 2018

A firm and tannic 2012 with chewy yet polished tannins and lots of dark fruit. Lots of blue fruit and minerals. Full-bodied yet tight and powerful. Shows structure for the future, but if you can’t wait, decant two hours...

Masi’s Vaio is an important Amarone with extraordinary power and complexity, a classic in the Italian winemaking portfolio. This is the icon wine of the historic Serego Alighieri estate and comes from the eponymous vineyard, the source, it seems, of the name Amarone itself.

The wine is produced using time-honored practices in the vineyard, in the ancient drying lofts and in the cellars. Its elegant personality is enhanced by the use of the Serego Alighieri-clone of the Molinara grape and by aging in cherry-wood casks, as family tradition dictates.
