Masi Campofiorin 2005


Nice tobacco and cherry nose that is tart and medium-bodied. A hint of fresh thyme and ripe cherry.

From Masi's website:
A red wine made from local Veronese grapes vinified fresh from the
harvest and then re-fermented with a small percentage of semi-dried grapes of the
same varieties. The wine splendidly encompasses the qualities of the Verona area:
the excellence of the zone, the highly individual style of the indigenous Veronese
grape varieties, and the originality of the techniques of "appassimento" (semi-drying)
and Masi double fermentation. It combines simplicity and grace with power and
majesty. Rich, full-bodied, round and velvety, with an ageing potential of 10 to 15
years.
