The Story

1964-2014: FIFTY YEARS OF CAMPOFIORIN

The first Campofiorin harvest happened in gentle, Veronese hillside vineyards on 30th September 1964. Today, fifty years later, we celebrate the birthday of a wine that is now part of Valpolicella’s history, becoming one of the best-loved classics of the Italian wine tradition worldwide.

The wine is full-bodied, smooth and velvety, but approachable and versatile in its food pairings. Combines simplicity with style, strength and majesty.

This is the original Supervenetian created by Masi in 1964 and internationally recognised as a wine of “stupendous body and complexity”, the prototype for a new category of wines from the Veneto inspired by the Amarone production method (Burton Anderson). Its own production method was described by Hugh Johnson as “an ingenious technique”.

Serving temperature: 18° C.

Alcoholic content: 13% vol.

Storage life: 15-20 years

Grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara.

 

Tasting notes:

Look: intense ruby red.

Nose: ripe cherries and sweet spices.

Palate: rich, intense cherries and berry fruit; good length and soft tannins.

Food pairing: Exceptionally versatile. Good with pasta dishes dressed with rich sauces (meat or mushrooms); grilled or roast red meat, and game. Ideal with well-aged cheese.
