ABOUT THIS WINE
Masi Campofiorin 2020 is a Rosso del Veronese IGT from the Veneto region of Italy, produced by Masi Agricola. Created in 1964, it is recognized as a pioneering 'Supervenetian' wine, inspired by the Amarone winemaking process. Masi Agricola, a family-owned estate for six generations, is known for its innovative approach to traditional Venetian viticulture. The wine's distinctiveness lies in its unique 'double fermentation' technique, a refinement of the ripasso method, where young Valpolicella wine is refermented on the skins of semi-dried grapes. The 2020 vintage benefited from a later harvest, contributing to its profile.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Masi Campofiorin 2020 is produced using a unique 'double fermentation' technique, a sophisticated evolution of the traditional ripasso method. Young Valpolicella wine undergoes an initial fermentation, followed by a second fermentation on the skins of semi-dried grapes. This process is designed to extract more color, alcohol, fruit, and polyphenols, enriching the wine's aromas and flavors. For the 2020 vintage, a greater proportion of semi-dried grapes was utilized. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, contributing to its structure and complexity. The harvest for the 2020 vintage occurred slightly later, influencing the wine's acidity and tannin profile.
