Natalie's Score: 93/100

A deep and dark Amarone, intense with layers of charred dark fruit, dark cherry, dried fruit, leather and tobacco flavours matched with brilliant acidity on the palate. Not as sweet as most Amarones, but complex and delicious in its own right. Pair with bison burgers, wild boar, game sausage... you get the drift.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico food pairings: venison filet mignon, roast pheasant, roast boar.

Glorious Game Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Masi Mazzano 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella is the holiday entertaining size (1500 ml) of this deep and dark Amarone with layers of ripe dark fruit, dark cherry compote, sweet dried tobacco leaf, fine herbs, cocoa and meaty flavours vibrant on the palate. Tannins are lush. This vintage was awarded 3 glasses out of 3 in the 2021 Gambero Rosso Italian Wines Guide. - Community Wine Reviews.
From the Veneto wine region, Masi Mazzano 2012 magnum-size Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico is lushly layered with ripe dark fruit, cherry liqueur, savoury herb, tobacco leaf and savoury spice flavours, so rich and deep on the palate. Balanced with great acidity for food. A juicy grilled ribeye comes to mind. - Community Wine Reviews
