Last week, I had the opportunity to re-taste one of my favorite Italian reds .. a 2009 Masi Campofiorin Rosso del Veronese IGT .. after a time decanted .. it's bright and intense nose was filled with aromas of preserved cherries, dried plums melded with hints of fruits of the forest and cinnamon.
Look for an intense, deep, dark ruby red color. A viscous body with purple edges. Previous mentioned strong and attractive cherry aromas on the nose with a pleasing spiciness. Great power and balance on the palate, with aromas of ripe fruit, more cherry in spirit and black currants.
After the aeration, soft and well balanced tannins benefit from good acidity and a long and pleasing aftertaste with hints of vanilla and cocoa, just what you expect from a quality Valpolicella Blend.
