Masi Costasera Amarone Contemporary Art 2000 by Susan A. Point

The ‘Costasera Contemporary Art’ project involves the selection of an internationally renowned artist, with origins in a country historically linked to Masi, creating a work of art dedicated to the iconic Costasera Amarone. The artist selected for the 2017 edition is Susan A. Point, the most important exponent of Coast Salish Art: the artistic movement that draws inspiration from the history, traditions and symbolism of the Coast Salish people, inhabitants of the West Coast of Canada for over ten thousand years. Susan A. Point was the founder of this movement that revived artistic expressions forgotten in the wake of colonialism. Labels with reproductions of her work embellish a selection of bottles of Costasera 2000. Costasera maintains the esteemed qualities of Masi’s classic Costasera Amarone. Crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, the wine is aged to perfection, striking a delicate balance between fruity and spicy notes. The wine showcases an extremely intense ruby red colour with bright edges. On the nose there are intense aromas of marasca cherries and berry fruit with hints of fruit tart. The palate has a good structure supported by excellent acidity; cooked cherries are the predominant note, accompanied by a long finish with soft tannins and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. A great wine for flavoursome foods, red meat or roasts, game, and mature cheeses with a good bite to them, such as parmesan. Also an excellent after-the-meal wine. ABV 15% ABV 15%
