Masi, one of the leading Valpolicella/Amarone producers, makes a wonderful range of wines. Made from the usual Valpolicella grapes, Corvina, Rolindella, and Molinara, Masi’s mid-weight Bonacosta, their “regular” (though there’s nothing regular about it) Valpolicella Classico delivers juicy bright cherry flavors. Fresh and fleshy, its smooth texture makes it perfect for current consumption. It’s a great choice with a tomato-based pasta or grilled meat. And it’s a bargain for what it delivers.
