Masi Bonacosta Valpolicella Classico 2011

Veneto, ItalyBonacoasta is 70/25/5 mix of corvina/rondinella/molinara grown in the hills of the classico zone of Valpolicella. Production is careful but standard and 86% of the wine is aged six months in large Slavonian oak barrels; the remaining juice, the corvina, is finished in smaller new Allier and Slavonian oak casks. The nose is fresh and floral with bits of violets and dried herbs mixed with cherries and spice. Light, airy and fun drinking, reminiscent of Beaujolais.Tasted: 08 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
