Toar - MASI 750ml x 1 bottle

Classification: Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC

Grape varieties: Corvina, Oseleta, Rondinella

Tasting notes: An elegant, impressive aroma of ripe cherries and dark berries, with hints of cinnamon-like spice. It has a firm body and acidity, with a spread of plum-like fruit flavors. The tannins are silky smooth, with an elegant and concentrated taste reminiscent of cacao and a lingering finish.

Winemaking: Grapes harvested at full ripeness are fermented separately using selected yeasts. (Corvina grapes are placed in wooden boxes after harvesting and allowed to mature further before fermentation.) After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 14 months in Slavonian oak and Allier oak barrels (both 600L/half new barrels, half second-use barrels). The blend is then created, with the ratio varying by vintage. The wine is aged for another 5 months after bottling.

Pairing: Roasted meats, game, aged cheeses, etc.
