Red wine | Veneto, Italy
Nectar Campofiorin is an exquisite, travel-retail exclusive expression of Masi’s iconic Campofiorin, a wine that truly defines the 'Supervenetian' category. Since its creation in 1964, Masi has perfected the 'appassimento' technique—the traditional method of partially drying grapes to concentrate their sugars and flavors—which, when combined with a double fermentation process, results in a wine of remarkable depth, complexity, and soul.
This special cuvée is crafted with a higher selection of the Corvina grape, the heartbeat of Valpolicella, which lends the wine its signature softness and vivid, cherry-tinged fruit profile. Supported by the structural elegance of Rondinella and the spicy acidity of Molinara, this wine bridges the gap between the approachability of a standard Valpolicella and the regal intensity of an Amarone. On the pour, it presents a deep, captivating ruby red. The nose is greeted by an intoxicating bouquet of ripe dark cherries, fresh plums, and a subtle dusting of sweet spices like cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate, you will experience a generous, velvety texture where juicy red and black fruit flavors harmonize beautifully with soft, well-integrated tannins.
This is a remarkably versatile wine that feels just as at home at a casual dinner as it does during a formal celebration. Its robust yet balanced character makes it an ideal companion for hearty Italian classics like pappardelle with rich meat ragù, mushroom risotto, or slow-roasted red meats. It also pairs surprisingly well with aged cheeses or even the bold, aromatic profiles of global cuisines, including many Asian or South American dishes. With an impressive cellaring potential of 15-20 years, it is a bottle that rewards both the immediate drinker and the patient collector. Choosing Nectar Campofiorin is choosing a piece of Veronese history; it is a wine that encapsulates the passion, tradition, and innovation of the Masi estate in every glass. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or simply looking for a bottle that consistently delivers quality, this 'Supervenetian' is an essential addition to your cellar.
