Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT 2004
Red Wine
from Veneto, Italy
winemaker's notes:
70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, 5% Molinara
Created in 1964, Campofiorin is the original product of the personal
interpretation by Masi's technicians of an ancient vinification system used in Verona and technically known as
"refermentation". Masi is proud to have created a completely new category in the ranks of Veronese winemaking, a class
of wines that stands between the elegant simplicity of the classic wine types and the complex majesty of the Amarone, a
benchmark category for other wines. Campofiorin, of course, with its unique personality, will always remain the primus inter
pares of "Supervenetian reds."
Deep ruby red color with violet tinges on the edges. Intense bouquet with hints of ripe berry
fruit, baked plums and cherries. Ample on the palate, full-bodied and velvety with characteristic
hints of bitter cherries and cooked fruit. Attractive aftertaste with a hint of walnut.
Perfect with many
different kinds of food
such as pasta with
rich sauces (based
on meat or
mushrooms), grilled
or roasted red meats,
game and mature
cheeses.
