Nectar Campofiorin Rosso Verona Corvina Blend
Verona, Veneto, Italy
The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Campolongo di Torbe holds your attention firm, with a deeply alluring bouquet of rum-soaked raisins, cinnamon, cherry liquor, minty herbs and a dusting of cocoa. It’s silky in texture and more feminine and lifted than expected, with a tart display of red and black fruits further complicated by notes of bitter coffee and dark, dark chocolate. The balance here is on point, as the 2011 comes across as more savory and sweet, and tapers off to notes of blackberry, sour citrus and inner rose tones. While you can enjoy this today, the Campolongo di Torbe will benefit from another five to ten years of cellaring.(Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2021)

In 1958, Masi was in the forefront of the work to identify the historic "cru" vineyard sites for Amarone. In 1964, Campofiorin was the first in reinventing the technique of double fermentation Found another bottle in my cellar. Deep red with full ripe black and red fruit aromas. This Ripasso style wine offers intense flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum, with sweet vanilla, and cinnamon spice notes. Soft tannins, the finish had great length ending with chewy fruit characteristics. Nice drinking wine.
