Varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara
WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS -"Full-bodied and rich, this well-spiced red is nevertheless elegant throughout. Features fine, plush tannins and lightly mouthwatering acidity seamlessly knit to an appealing range of black cherry coulis, rich date and fig cake accents. Shows tar-tinged smoke and earth notes that glide across the palate and linger on the finish. Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Drink now through 2035. 3,000 cases made, 150 cases imported."
"The Boscaini family keeps a unique collection of fine wines in its private cellars, produced in limited quantities and only in the best years, which the family likes to share with lovers of Masi wines.
Campolongo di Torbe is Masi’s elegant cru version of Amarone, with smooth almond aromas, great intensity and balance. The grapes come from the eponymous vineyard, which has been noted for its quality since the 12th century. Grapes are left to dry naturally in traditional drying lofts during the cold winter months.
Serving temperature: 18C/60F
Alcoholic content: 16% vol.
Storage life: 35-40 years
Look: opaque ruby red.
Nose: intense and complex aromas of baked fruit and cinnamon.
Palate: rich, full-bodied and well-balanced, with ripe cherry flavours (sweet and marasca), baked plums and bitter almonds.
Food pairing: Excellent as an after-dinner wine, or to go with red meat, game, quail and richly-flavored dishes. Very good with well-aged cheeses, such as parmesan, pecorino and gorgonzola."
