Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese 2020 750ml

Masi, in Valpolicella, first made Campofiorin from the 1964 vintage and released it in 1967. It was a prototype for a new style of Veronese red, and it's often called the original Super Venetian.

The 2020 is mostly Corvina, with Rondinella and a little Molinara. Masi's double fermentation referments the young wine on partly dried grapes, and for 2020 the share of dried grapes rose to about 30%. It then ages in Slavonian and French oak. It's sealed with a cork.

It's a deep ruby, with ripe cherry and sweet spice, then rich cherry and berry fruit, good length and soft tannins.

Against Amicale Rosso, Campofiorin is drier and more structured; for the classic Amarone-style value red, choose Masi.

Serve it at cool room temperature, around 64°F, now or over the next several years, with braised beef, risotto or aged cheese.
