The barrel-aged Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese 1.5 l Magnum from the Veneto wine-growing region has a bright ruby red color in the glass. If you hold the glass at a slight angle, you can see a transition in color towards garnet red at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. If you give it a little air in the wine glass by swirling it, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. In the glass, this red wine from Masi Agricola presents aromas of mulberries, plums, black cherries, morello cherries and blackberries, complemented by other fruity nuances. This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with just 0.4 grams of residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so, despite its dryness, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance. Taste does not necessarily require a lot of residual sugar. On the tongue, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. With its vital fruit acidity, the Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese 1.5 l Magnum is impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this mature red wine from the Veneto wine-growing region, more precisely from Rosso del Veronese IGT, is convincing with a remarkable aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese 1.5 l magnum from Masi Agricola

The basis for the balanced Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese 1.5 l magnum from Veneto are grapes from the Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grape varieties. In Veneto, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. The Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese 1.5 l Magnum is clearly defined by more than just the Rosso del Veronese IGT soil. This Italian wine can literally be described as an Old World wine that presents itself in an exceptionally impressive way. The fact that the Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate also has a major influence on the ripening of the grapes. Among other things, this results in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high alcohol content in the wine. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden vats at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. Ageing in wooden barrels is followed by a long period of bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex.
