Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, sweet
Masi's Angelorum is a classic expression of Recioto della Valpolicella, made from partially dried Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes — the same labour-intensive appassimento process that underpins Amarone, but here the fermentation is arrested early to preserve natural sweetness. The result is a richly concentrated red dessert wine, lush with dried cherry, fig, and dark chocolate, lifted by enough acidity and fine tannin to keep it from feeling heavy. It's a traditional, relatively rare style that rewards slow sipping, whether alongside a rich chocolate tart or simply on its own at the end of a meal.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
