What it pairs with

  • Pasta with rich Mediterranean sauce
    Masi names pasta with rich Mediterranean sauces first for this wine.
  • Grilled or roast red meat
    The house lists both, and the soft tannin suits either.
  • Spiced Asian dishes
    Masi specifically recommends the warm, spiced flavours of Asian and South American cooking.

History

Campofiorin was created in 1964 and is credited with founding a category of Veneto reds inspired by the Amarone technique. With the 2020 vintage Masi introduced a slight stylistic evolution: a marginally later harvest and a higher proportion of dried grapes for a more harmonious, rounder wine with more intact fruit.
