Masi Agricola is a wine producer in Veneto, northern Italy. It is famous for its Valpolicella wines and its particular, for its Amarone wines. Masi owns vineyards throughout the region, including in the Bardolino Classico and Soave Classico DOC zones as well as in Valpolicella since the 1950s. The Masi cellars are specifically geared toward the appassimento technique of drying grapes on bamboo racks. They are temperature- and humidity-controlled, with sufficient ventilation to allow for the drying of the grapes.
Masi’s Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese presents an intense ruby red color in the glass. On the nose it releases enveloping aromas of cherry and small ripe red fruits intertwined with notes of sweet spices. The sip is soft and pulpy, supported by a rich taste and a velvety and decisive tannic texture. Good persistence finish. At the table it pairs well with mature and blue cheeses and structured dishes based on red meat and game.
