“Full-bodied, smooth and velvety, but approachable and versatile in its food pairings. Combines simplicity with style, strength and majesty. This is the original Supervenetian created by Masi in 1964 and internationally recognised as a wine of “stupendous body and complexity”, the prototype for a new category of wines from the Veneto inspired by the Amarone production method (Burton Anderson). Its own production method was described by Hugh Johnson as “an ingenious technique”.

Clean black fruit with some fresh tobacco on the nose, following through to the palate, where it takes on a fresh-orange note, too. Medium-bodied and super clean with well-integrated tannins. Delicious now.
