MASI CAMPOFIORIN ROSSO del VERONESE 2021

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”.

Full bodied, smooth and velvety, but approachable and versatile in its food pairings. Combines simplicity with style, strength and majesty.

91/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, October 2023 (2018 Vintage)
"This is developed and a little agricultural but the array of flavours is pleasing and more. Meat, red and black cherries, orange blossoms and game, with assorted herb and fennel-like notes drifting throughout. The finish is drying but it holds its shape, and the fruit remains juicy. I’d drink/buy this in a heartbeat but then I’m not a score-whore; it’s all about the flavours."

"Spicy cherry aromas with earthy and dried-flower nuances, following through to a medium body with well-integrated, fine tannins that just tighten a little at the end. Persistent fruit. Corvina, rondinella and molinara. Drink now."
