2000 Valpolicella Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara

Masi Emcoeu Red Wine is a remarkable expression of the Valpolicella region, showcasing the brilliance of its classic varietals, including Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. This vintage of 2000 presents a deep ruby color that entices the eye, while its complex aromas of dark cherries, plums, and a hint of dried herbs greet the senses. On the palate, the wine reveals a medium-bodied profile with a lovely balance of acidity and pronounced fruit intensity. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and elegance to the wine's character. As it develops, this full-bodied delight offers a lingering finish, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with rich, savory dishes or simply enjoying on its own. Masi Emcoeu, with its Gold Medal accolades, is a true testament to the artistry of winemaking in this esteemed Italian region.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
