2021 Masi -Rosso del Veronese IGT Campofiorin (750ml)
The 2021 Masi Rosso del Veronese IGT Campofiorin (750ml) captures the essence of Veneto winemaking with a bold, fruit-forward profile balanced by refined structure. Built on a classic Corvina-based frame with Rondinella (and often Molinara), this wine is crafted in Campofiorin’s distinctive style, using a portion of dried grapes to concentrate flavors before blending with the fresh harvest. The result is a velvety red that carries both depth and lift, reflective of its Veronese roots and years of winemaking innovation from Masi.
Tasting notes
- Aroma: ripe cherry, black plum, and sun-warmed berries mingle with subtle hints of cacao, vanilla, and a touch of spice.
- Palate: medium-full bodied with finely knit tannins and bright acidity; flavors echo the nose—ripe red and dark fruit, a suggestion of dried fruit, cacao nibs, and soft spice; a gentle balsamic nuance adds complexity.
- Finish: persistent and warming, leaving a delicate spice trail that invites another glass.
What it pairs with
- Roasted or grilled red meats (lamb chops, beef tenderloin) that pick up the wine’s fruit and savory notes.
- Hearty pasta dishes such as pappardelle with wild mushroom ragù or ragu di carne.
- Aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano, pecorino, or a robust pecorino-also excellent with charcuterie boards featuring cured meats.
Serving suggestions
- Serve at a cool-to-warm cellar temperature, approximately 60–64°F (15–18°C).
- Decant for 20–30 minutes to fully open up the fruit and spice aromas.
