The Masi Serego Alighieri 2017 Valpolicella Classico Superiore MontePiazzo (packaged in a heavy glass bottle) is aged in Slavonian oak and cherrywood. The blend of grapes is 70% Covina, 20% Rondinella and 10% Molinara (a special proprietary clone is used). This is a dark and almost impenetrable wine from a hot and dry vintage. You taste some of the dry sweetness of the cherrywood and the fruit power and concentration that is characteristic of 2017. Despite that aromatic power, the wine is shorter lived on the palate. Production is 42,200 bottles.
