✨ 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 acquired premium vineyards in the small valley named 'Vaio dei Masi', Masi Agricola has grown into one of the most iconic and respected estates in Veneto's Valpolicella Classica zone. Managed for generations by the Boscaini family, the winery has become globally renowned for championing and modernizing the traditional appassimento method, transforming indigenous grapes such as Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara into rich, age-worthy masterpieces. In addition to creating the revolutionary 'Supervenetian' Campofiorin in the 1960s and collaborating with the historic Serego Alighieri counts, Masi is celebrated worldwide for its benchmark Amarone della Valpolicella expressions, including the prestigious Costasera, Mazzano, and Campolongo di Torbe.
