Winemaker Notes
Intense, deep, dark ruby red color; very viscous with purple edges. Strong and attractive cherry aromas on the
nose with a pleasing spiciness. Great power and balance on the palate, with aromas of ripe fruit, cherries in
spirit and blackcurrants. Soft and well balanced tannins benefiting from good acidity; long aftertaste with hints
of vanilla and cocoa, just like an Amarone.

Although it is not labeled "Ripasso", Campofiorin is indeed among the very first commercial wines made in the Ripasso style (with partially air-dried grapes). The beautiful results show intensity, elegance and although the mid-palate is compact and short, the wine does offer a full array of spicy and dark fruit aromas.

Masi's production strategy aims to emphasize the personality of each single product, while maintaining a recognizable Venetian style. In 1958, Masi was in the forefront of the work to identify the historic "cru" vineyard sites for Amarone. In 1964, Campofiorin was the first in a new category of wines, reinventing the technique of double fermentation and continually updating it. Masi has also updated the style of Amarone, using new appassimento and vinification technologies.
Masi wines are modern, attractive, well-balanced and easily identifiable; characteristics which have earned Masi recognition for having "revolutionized the art of wine-making in the Venetian region." Hugh Johnson defines Masi as "a touchstone for Veronese wines."
