✨ Technical Specifications
Masi's Brolo Campofiorin Oro is a benchmark 'Supervenetian' red, representing a modern update to the historic Veronese winemaking tradition. Originating from selected vineyards in the Valpolicella hills, the term 'Brolo' refers to a walled vineyard, akin to a French 'clos.' The wine is crafted using Masi's proprietary double-fermentation technique: rich, fresh wine made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes is re-fermented with semi-dried (appassito) grapes, including the rare, deeply colored, and tannic Oseleta variety—an ancient grape Masi famously rescued from extinction. This process imparts a remarkable depth of dried fruit flavors, cocoa, and spices, combined with elegant structure and velvet tannins, celebrating the rich heritage of the Venetian hills.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1772 when the Boscaini family harvested their first vineyard plots in the Vaio dei Masi valley, Masi Agricola stands as a foundational pillar of modern Venetian viticulture. Anchored in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the estate spans diverse microclimates and sedimentary limestone, marl, and volcanic soils across the Trevenezie, tempered by Lake Garda and alpine foothills. Masi revolutionized regional winemaking through the modern mastery of the ancient appassimento method—drying harvested bunches on traditional arelle bamboo racks—and pioneering the ripasso revival with their landmark 1964 Campofiorin. Governed by the Masi Technical Group and long stewarded by Sandro Boscaini, affectionately hailed as 'Mr. Amarone', the estate blends sustainability with exacting enology. Their benchmark expressions range from majestic, cru-designated Amarone della Valpolicella such as Costasera, Campolongo di Torbe, and Mazzano, to crisp Trevenezie whites like Masianco and vibrant sparkling wines, epitomizing classical Venetian refinement and textural depth.
