Wine of the Weekend: Masi Campofiorin 2020

2020

Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara

An intense ruby red robe captivates the eye, reflecting the wine's vibrant and concentrated character.

The Masi Campofiorin 2020 reveals a layered and inviting bouquet, with bright aromas of ripe cherry and dark plum, followed by earthy tobacco notes.
These are enhanced by subtler hints of wet earth, refreshing mint, and a delicate touch of cinchona, creating a complex and aromatic profile that evolves with each swirl.

The tasting experience of this Masi is refreshingly vibrant, offering a harmonious balance between its lively acidity and soft, velvety texture.
The refined tannins provide structure without overwhelming the fruit, lending a smooth and elegant mouthfeel.
As the flavours unfold, subtle notes of dark fruit and earth give way to a long, lingering finish, highlighted by a delicate balsamic trail that adds complexity and depth to the overall tasting experience.

This wine pairs beautifully with a range of rich and savoury dishes. It complements the tender sweetness of suckling pig roasted with plums, enhancing the fruit-forward notes in the wine.

Braised red meats, such as slow-cooked beef or lamb, benefit from the wine’s structure and depth, while its smooth tannins and balanced acidity cut through the richness of the dish.

Mature cheeses, like aged Parmigiano or Pecorino, also pair wonderfully, as their robust flavours are elevated by the wine's complexity and lingering finish.
