Satisfying, fresh, traditional.
Through a process of drying grapes called appassimento, this wine and others like it become much more concentrated. The Campofiorin continues the tradition of using classic Veronese grape varieties to produce this aromatic red blend.
Expect sunbaked earth, dried rose petals, espresso, dark chocolate, sweet and savoury spices, cedar chips and tobacco on the nose. It is fresh (the concentration is slightly less than the 2009 vintage) with flavours of dark powdery mocha, dried cherries and prune plums with spiced espresso on the finish.
A satisfying red made for food.
Pair: risotto, grilled meats, hearty pastas and aged cheeses

Citrus, fresh, tangy.
Made from Pinot Grigio blended with the regional Verduzzo grape, this delightful white offers lemongrass, crisp apples and pears with spring flowers on the nose. Equally tangy and crisp with citrus, white fruits and a hint of marzipan on the finish. Good freshness - a perfect everyday dinner white with chicken, fish, vegetable soups or pasta e olio.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

Earthy, smooth, persistent.
Veneto's Masi brings its trade to Argentina, to the high Mendoza vineyards of Tupungato in the Uco Valley. Here, they make this blend of Corvina (classic Italian variety) and Malbec in the appasimento method of drying grapes to add depth and richness to the final wine.
It's a consistently solid wine with a nose of dried cherries, espresso, prune plums, dark chocolate, mint and brown spices. Very good freshness in the mouth with a smooth texture and nicely integrated fruit and mocha flavours. Overall good balance and structure with a long finish.
Pair:Roasted meats, strongly flavoured and mature cheeses or mushroom stuffed ravioli.
