James Suckling
A fresh, fruity valpo with some focus and tension. Firm, smoky character to the dark-berry and cherry flavors.
Eric Guido - Vinous
The 2019 Valpolicella Classico Bonacosta reaches up from the glass with a display of bright cherries and sweet floral perfumes. This impresses with a soft mouthfeel contrasted by tart wild berry fruits, with a hint of cocoa that comes forward toward the close. Savory herbs and hints of licorice linger through the fresh and classically dry finale.
Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The Masi 2019 Valpolicella Classico Bonacosta offers fresh and lifted aromas of cherry, dried raspberry and pressed rose. It offers ample freshness followed by an easy and short finish that would work well with a late-night platter of crackers and cheese. The blend is 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. Some 980,000 bottles were released.
