Masi Brolo di Campofiorin Oro (75cl, 14%)

Masi Brolo di Campofiorin Oro is a double-fermented red wine from Veneto, Italy, produced by Masi Agricola. It is built on Masi's signature double fermentation technique, with wine from freshly harvested grapes re-fermented on 30% semi-dried Corvina grapes. The blend is 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 10% Oseleta, a rare native grape rediscovered and replanted by Masi in the 1980s. It is aged in 600-litre fusti veronesi, a mix of Allier and Slavonian oak barrels. The nose opens with dark plum, black cherry, fresh tobacco and roasted coffee, with turned earth and dried leaf. The palate brings ripe raspberry and plum preserves, dried prune, tar and leather, with velvety tannins, good extraction and refreshing acidity. The finish is medium-plus, with licorice candy, dark chocolate and a trace of vanilla.
