Wine Description
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”.
