Brolo di Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese Masi 2008

This wine is produced with 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella grapes, with the double fermentation system. The grapes are immediately vinified under controlled temperature for 25 days using selected yeasts. The addition of 30% of Corvina grapes provokes a second fermentation which continues until the process has been completed. The malolactic takes place as well. This process enriches the wine in alcohol, colour and tannins.

Ageing: 24 months in oak barrels, then 4 months in the bottle.

It presents a deep ruby red colour, complex and elegant bouquet: cherries with hints of cinnamon and coffee. Full bodied on the palate with delicious ripe cherry flavours tinged with cloves and vanilla.
Extremely elegant soft tannins and attractive finish, long and satisfying.

A wine perfectly pairing many different kinds of food such as pasta with rich sauces based on meat or mushrooms, grilled or roasted red meats, game and cheese.

Alcohol 14,38%, 750 ml bottle
