Masi Campolongo di Torbe Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2011 750mL

Campolongo di Torbe is Masi’s elegant cru version of Amarone, with smooth almond aromas, great intensity and balance. The grapes come from the eponymous vineyard, which has been noted for its quality since the XII century. Grapes are left to dry naturally in traditional drying lofts during the cold winter months.

Grape Varietals:

Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara.

Look: 

opaque ruby red.

Nose:

intense and complex aromas of baked fruit and cinnamon.

Palate:

rich, full-bodied and well-balanced, with ripe cherry flavours (sweet and marasca), baked plums and bitter almonds.

Food Pairing:

Excellent as an after-dinner wine, or to go with red meat, game, quails and richly-flavoured dishes. Very good with well-aged cheeses, such as parmesan, pecorino and gorgonzola.
