Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT 2020

The Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT 2020 is a classic "Supervenetian" wine that continues to build on the reputation of this iconic label, which was first introduced in 1964. Known for its unique double fermentation technique inspired by the Amarone method, Campofiorin is celebrated for its depth, richness, and versatility. This 2020 vintage is no exception, offering a wine that marries tradition with modern appeal.

Nose: The nose reveals a bouquet of ripe cherries, plum, and sweet spices, underpinned by a subtle earthy tone. These primary aromas are complemented by hints of vanilla and a touch of cinnamon, offering both warmth and complexity.

Palate: On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety, with intense flavours of cherry and berry fruit. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, contributing to the wine's smooth texture. There is also a fine balance between the fruit's sweetness and the refreshing acidity, making it both enjoyable now and capable of aging gracefully. The wine’s medium length on the palate is marked by a lingering note of dried fruit and a subtle spice.

Finish: The finish is elegant and persistent, with the sweet fruit and spice flavours fading slowly, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that invites another sip.

Why Buy: The 2020 Masi Campofiorin is a wine of exceptional versatility, ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes, from richly sauced pasta to grilled and roasted meats. It’s also a superb choice for those who enjoy a wine that offers both immediate pleasure and potential for further development over the next 15-20 years. With a storied history and a unique production method, Campofiorin remains a benchmark for quality in the Veneto region.
