James Suckling
Reviewed April 2023I've always liked this wine, sitting pretty as a double-fermented expression with a lighter framework of tannins melded to the density serviced by the double fermentation approach devised here: fresh wine re-fermented with 30% whole, semi-dried grapes. Notes of cherry amaro, porcini, lilac and riffs on the larger format wood, conferring an earthy breadth to the wine without detracting from freshness. Highly versatile and delicious. Drink now. (NG)

Decanter
Remarkable balance in this wine refermented to dryness with 30% whole semi-dried grapes of the same varieties in the original blend (Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara), and aged in a combination of Slavonian and French oak barrels. Refined yet robust structure with intense fruit (cherry, plum, bramble) layered with dry herbs and spices. Floral overtones (dried wildflowers and roses) aff fragrant lift to the deep fruit core.

Notes
Masi’s "Campofiorin" Rosso del Veronese is a benchmark for the appassimento technique, offering richness, depth, and a velvety texture. The nose is inviting and layered, with ripe red cherry, black plum, and dried figs, complemented by notes of sweet spice, mocha, and a touch of tobacco. The palate is supple yet structured, with fine tannins supporting a core of dark fruit, baking spice, and hints of cocoa. A subtle earthiness and bright acidity carry through to a long, warming finish, where notes of vanilla and dried herbs emerge. A beautifully balanced and versatile wine with remarkable drinkability.
