MASI Privata Boscaini Mazzano Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 750ml 2013

The Boscaini family keeps a unique collection of fine wines in its private cellars, produced in limited quantities and only in the best years, which the family likes to share with lovers of Masi wines. Mazzano is an austere and majestic wine, the prototype for Amarone. The grapes come from the eponymous vineyard, famous for the quality of its produce since the XII century, and are laid out in traditional drying lofts during the cold winter months.

Grape Varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara. 

Tasting Notes:
