Masi Campofiorin is red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region of Italy and lays claim to be the “original Super Venetian”. Dark and brooding wine, baby Amarone!
This wine invites time and contemplation, charmingly expressive on the nose it shows dried herbs, blueberry, leather, cinnamon, ripe cherry and vanilla. This wine truly comes to life when matched with the salty, cured foods of the Mediterranean. Its soft, velvety tannins make it extremely approachable and lead to a lengthy finish. It’s easy to see why Masi are known as masters of this style!
“Full-bodied, smooth and velvety, but approachable and versatile in its food pairings. Combines simplicity with style, strength and majesty. This is the original Supervenetian created by Masi in 1964 and internationally recognised as a wine of “stupendous body and complexity”, the prototype for a new category of wines from the Veneto inspired by the Amarone production method (Burton Anderson). Its own production method was described by Hugh Johnson as “an ingenious technique”.
