Masi Campofiorin Ripasso Rosso del Veronese 2023 750ml

Masi Campofiorin Ripasso — Rosso del Veronese, Veneto, Italy 2023

Masi Agricola is one of Italy’s most historic wine estates — a family winery whose roots stretch back to 1772, when the Boscaini family first harvested in the prized vineyards of Vajo dei Masi in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. Born in 1964, Campofiorin is Masi’s original “Super-Venetian” — internationally recognized as the creator of a new category of Veneto wines inspired by the Amarone ripasso technique, and described by Burton Anderson as “a wine of stupendous size and complexity.” The 2023 is crafted from Corvina and complementary varietals, with delayed harvest and an increased percentage of dried grapes to achieve an even more harmonious, full-bodied, and integrally fruity expression. The result is a rich, smooth, and velvety red that combines simplicity and grace with strength and majesty — and overdelivers at its price point.

The nose is warm and inviting: ripe cherries, sweet spices, and berry fruit with a depth that signals the influence of the ripasso technique. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied with intense cherry and berry fruit, soft tannins, good length, and a smooth, lingering finish. It is versatile, crowd-pleasing, and deeply satisfying — the kind of Veneto classic that works from aperitivo to serious dinner with equal ease.

"Rich, smooth and velvety, yet approachable and versatile at table. Marrying simplicity and grace with strength and majesty. Born in 1964, Campofiorin is one of the world’s best-loved traditional Italian classics, internationally recognised as a ‘wine of stupendous size and complexity’ — the creator of a new category of Veneto wines inspired by the Amarone technique." — Masi Agricola
