DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Masi is one of the great names of Valpolicella, and Campolongo di Torbe is its single-vineyard Amarone. The vineyard has been noted for quality since the 12th century.
It is made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The grapes dry naturally in traditional lofts over the winter, which concentrates sugar and flavor before a slow fermentation. The 2016 is opaque ruby, with baked fruit and cinnamon on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated: ripe cherry, baked plum, anise, sweet tobacco and bitter almond, over dense, fine-grained tannins. The finish is long, with tar and smoke. It is 16% alcohol and will keep for many years.
Decant for an hour and serve at about 64°F (18°C) in a large red wine glass. Pour it with braised beef, game, quail or aged Parmigiano, pecorino or Gorgonzola, or on its own after dinner.
