Modellissimo M Venetiae Corvina Blend

One of the more drinkable reds we’ve had this trio.

In 1958, Masi was in the forefront of the work to identify the historic "cru" vineyard sites for Amarone. Had another ‘08, Wow! Dark red with complex aromas of black and red fruits & spice. On the palate sweet cherry and dried plum flavors, currants, cacao and tobacco notes with oven spices. Soft smooth tannins well balanced with just the right touch of acidity on a lingering finish. Aged well, still has room to age. Great sipping wine! Yum!

On the nose, cherry, plum, raisin, leather and tobacco. On the palate, lush mouthfeel, plum, tobacco, leather, coffee, black cherry, perhaps over-ripened black cherry, long black cherry finish. Fruity and jammy. Medium- strong tannins but balanced with fruit and velvety mouthfeel.

Good balanced. Not too sweet. Very concentrated. Fruity . 2012 @2960, Xiaduo - pana e vino , 190729-190802

Luscious ,dense and balanced with an expresive bouquet confirming on the palate the black fruits ,mocha and forest character .Awesome vin de garde 🍷🍷

I reccomend this wine for a great experience

Very easy to drink

Pricey bottle and fucking fabulous. Not worth the money unless you’re flush with cash or have a good reason to celebrate. I’m obviously in the latter camp as I’ll never be ‘flush with cash’ (1-Muz, delectable review, 2019) but I certainly had reason to celebrate! Sure, my leg is fucked and I’m on pain meds but I refrained from taking meds all night so I could enjoy the company of birthday boy, bassist and sound tech extrodinaire (French cuz he French) snaps Ducharme and later, best-dude, drummer, business partner and brother Philip nauseous at local champion pub, Arcadia and then truly begin the personal celebration... the wine is flavourful and hearty but smooth, much like myself after a bottle of wine, and I enjoyed it with my girlfriend after first having a glass of wine from a $20 bottle (plus three air miles... I’m saving for a special trip). I cooked steaks and steamed green beans and cauliflower which turned out extremely well, however, she may have completely changed how I eat steak from now on, which I’m ambivalent about... I know I’m not perfect but I don’t want to change my essence, I’m still trying to decide whether an Italian style of eating steak infringes upon my authenticity. We finished the bottle after dinner obviously having drank most of it with the food, and talked about the food, wine and life. This is another italianism I seem to have picked up, talking about food... so you can see why I’m cautious! I haven’t gotten to the reason for celebrating yet but my girlfriend got a new job (sadly, in another city...)! Conversation was mostly positive and optimistic which is fabulous because I’m still fearful of the future and what being apart this next year will mean for us. She went to bed early because of the heavy food and drink and the business of her last week; she also taught the first class of one of her spring courses this evening so I may not recommend this wine to dudes that simply want the ‘score’ although taking everything into account, the wine was only part of the reason... I stayed up later playing guitar and painting and contemplating the future with a slightly cheaper but quality Malbec and took my meds finally. This made me slightly tragic and sad but not so much that I couldn’t still be optimistic and hopeful for the future. If life is complicated but worth celebrating, I highly recommend this wine. It’s probably the second or third best bottle I’ve ever had and was worth the cost considering the circumstances.

Excellent aroma, full bodied blackberry taste.

Delicious, well-balanced and enjoyable for even the least experienced wine drinker.
