Campofiorin 2022

Description

Rosso Campofiorin is a Veronese wine with the IGT denomination and the Masi label, a well-known company whose winemaking traditions date back to the late 18th century. This fine wine, obtained using the double fermentation technique, is today one of the finest traditional Valpolicella red wines. The grape varieties used to produce this red are 70% Corvina, 5% Molinara, and 25% Rondinella. Corvina, native to the Veneto region, is a dark grape variety with compact, medium-sized bunches whose berries have a very pruinose, blue-black skin. Molinara has a generous amount of pruinose on the skin and is one of the grape varieties that has been grown in Valpolicella since 1800. The Rondinella grape variety is native to Verona and dates back to the late 19th century. Harvesting begins in the second half of September, followed by a double fermentation process. The wine made from fresh grapes undergoes a new fermentation process with the addition of 25% of the same semi-dried grapes (the drying process takes six weeks). This new fermentation lasts 15 days and occurs at a controlled temperature of 18-20°C, followed by a final fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Aging lasts a minimum of 18 months, with two-thirds of the wine being aged in large 90-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels and one-third in new Allier and Slavonian oak barrels. The wine then ages in the bottle for a further three months.

Since then, Masi has expanded, little-by-little, with successive purchases in the best historical production areas of the Venetian regions.

Climate	Extensive rainfall from April to June, lower in July and August, favoured the vine's growth. Good temperature changes between day and night contributed to a better flavour and a more intense colour of the wine.
Soil composition	Very deep alluvial soil.
Harvest	22nd of September for the Rondinella grapes. Vinification of the semi-wilted grapes for Campofiorin began at the end of November.
Wine making	Double fermentation according to Masi's expertise. The wine made from fresh grapes is refermented with 25% whole grapes that have been half-dried of the same varieties for about six weeks. This refermentation lasts about 15 days at 18-20°C. This is followed by completion fermentation and malolactic fermentation. The wine thus achieves an increase in alcohol content, colour, extracts, and softer and more refined tannins and is enriched with new aromas and flavours.
