Corbec has already shown great complexity, balance, power and elegance in this first experimental year. The unique and easy to recognise qualities of Corvina have balanced perfectly with the exuberant virility and tannins of the Malbec, making for a unique and fascinating aroma/taste profile.As with Amarone, this wine will go well with strong-tasting foods and mature cheeses. To be served in large glasses at 18°C. VINIFICATION Masi are specialists in the appassimento method with their four Amarone wines and three Reciotos. This is the method applied here in successive stages after a harvest of selected grapes up to the final assemblage. The selected grape bunches were laid on specially constructed wooden trays, made in imitation of the Venetian “arelle”, for 22 days. The time taken for appassimento was short thanks to the naturally dry, warm and well-ventilated local climate. The grapes lost about 31% of their weight and gained in concentration of sugars and aromas. Soft pressing and de-stalking followed. The grapes were fermented at a constant 16°C for 30 days in stainless steel tanks. After racking, the wine completed its fermentation at 18°C for 35 days with the help of selected yeasts. Maturation followed in medium-toasted French oak barriques for 18 months. The separate varieties were then assembled and the resulting wine was transported to Italy in flexitank containers under a nitrogen seal. Ageing continued in stainless steel containers until the bottling period in January. Good bottle-ageing potential is predicted. (6 x 75 cl)
