✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Masi's Campolongo di Torbe is a legendary single-vineyard Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, hailing from a historic site in the Veneto region documented for its exceptional winegrowing qualities since the 12th century. This cru vineyard, located in the commune of San Pietro in Cariano, features deep, humus-rich clay soils over volcanic tuff, which imparts a distinct mineral complexity to the wine. Crafted using the traditional Appassimento method, the indigenous grapes—principally Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara—are dried on bamboo racks in specialized drying lofts over the winter months. This natural dehydration concentrates the sugars, aromas, and tannins. Following a slow fermentation, the wine undergoes extensive aging in Slavonian and Allier oak casks, resulting in a majestic, full-bodied red. It is celebrated for its opulent aromas of baked plums, dark cocoa, sweet spices, and an incredibly velvet-like texture that represents the pinnacle of Valpolicella's winemaking heritage.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Masi Agricola blev grundlagt i 1772, da Boscaini-familien opkøbte førsteklasses vinmarker i den lille dal 'Vaio dei Masi', og vinhuset har siden udviklet sig til en af de mest ikoniske og respekterede producenter i Valpolicella Classica-zonen i Veneto. Vingården er blevet drevet gennem generationer af familien Boscaini og har opnået verdensomspændende anerkendelse for at videreudvikle og modernisere den traditionelle appassimento-metode. Her forvandles lokale druesorter som Corvina, Rondinella og Molinara til fyldige og lagringsværdige mesterværker. Ud over at have skabt den revolutionerende 'Supervenetianer' Campofiorin i 1960'erne samt det historiske samarbejde med Serego Alighieri-greverne, er Masi verdenskendt for sine skoledannende Amarone della Valpolicella-fortolkninger, herunder de prestigefyldte Costasera, Mazzano og Campolongo di Torbe.
