The Boscaini family, who have managed the estate for seven generations, are known for their dedication to traditional techniques and innovation. Masi is particularly renowned for pioneering the “Appassimento” method, which involves drying grapes to concentrate their flavors. This technique is a hallmark of their Amarone and Campofiorin wines, reflecting the rich heritage and terroir of the Valpolicella region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eMasi Agricola produces the Campofiorin under the expertise of their technical team, led by Raffaele Boscaini.

The area benefits from a temperate climate with significant diurnal temperature variations, promoting optimal ripening and flavor development. The proximity to Lake Garda provides a moderating influence, reducing the risk of frost and contributing to the overall health of the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCampofiorin is crafted using a unique double fermentation technique. Initially, fresh grapes undergo fermentation, followed by a second fermentation with a portion of semi-dried grapes, enhancing the wine’s richness and complexity. This method, inspired by the traditional “Ripasso” technique, results in a wine that bridges the gap between Valpolicella and Amarone styles. The wine is then aged in a combination of Slavonian oak barrels and smaller French oak casks for approximately 18 months, allowing it to develop depth and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2018 Campofiorin displays a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and hints of spice and vanilla. The palate is rich and velvety, featuring flavors of dark berries, dried fruits, and subtle notes of cocoa and licorice. Balanced acidity and smooth tannins lead to a long, elegant finish, making it a versatile and approachable wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted poultry, and hearty pasta dishes.
