Description
Lively ruby red. Immediately attractive nose thanks to intense sensations of ripe cherries and plums. Extremely smooth on the palate, the fresh and attractive tastes of fruit gradually give way to an almost unexpected tannic structure, but there is always good balance from the lively acidity. Long and attractive finish with hints of cherries coming back again.

Soil Type
Vineyards in the stream-filled valleys of the Veronese hills which enjoy similar pedoclimatic conditions to the original “Campofiorin” vineyard in Marano di Valpolicella. Very deep alluvial terrain on eocenic limestone
Vinification
Masi double fermentation method. Fermented wine from the fresh grapes is re-fermented with 25% of whole semi-dried (dried for about six weeks) grapes of the same varieties. This fermentation lasts for about 15 days at 18-20°C. The malolactic takes place immediately afterwards. The process enriches the wine in alcohol, in colour, in extracts and in soft and elegant tannins, bringing also new flavours and perfumes at the same time.
