✨ Technical Specifications
Born in 1964 from the visionary mind of Guido Boscaini, Masi Campofiorin is celebrated as the original 'Supervenetian.' This landmark wine introduced a revolutionary winemaking technique to the Veneto region: double fermentation. To craft Campofiorin, fresh wine made from the classic local varieties Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara is refermented with a portion of semi-dried (appassimento) grapes of the same varieties. This ingenious method, inspired by the ancient appassimento tradition used for Amarone, infuses the wine with rich, concentrated black cherry and plum flavors, velvety tannins, and a warm complexity, while retaining the vibrant acidity and drinkability of a classic Veronese red. It stands as a historic bridge between the easy-drinking style of Valpolicella and the majestic intensity of Amarone.
🍾 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.
