1986 Masi Recioto della Valpolicella Amarone Classico

Amarone was historically designated “Recioto della Valpolicella Amarone,” reflecting its origins as the dry counterpart to sweet Recioto. This 1986 Masi bears that earlier name and the Classico designation, identifying Valpolicella’s historic production zone. Both wine styles draw on the area’s tradition of drying grapes before fermentation, a process known as appassimento.
