  • Then in the fruit cellar, where the grapes dry before being pressed, and in the cellars where the famous Campofiorin ages.
  • The Wine Discovery Museum: a multimedia itinerary that allows you to get closer to the culture of the wine.
  • The center of the museum is a gigantic 50,000 liter wooden vat, , in which the phenomenon of fermentation is perceived through images, scents and sounds.
  • Immersing yourself in the purple magic of fermenting must is exciting and didactic at the same time, which also involves children.

For each group of guests the book “Mr. Amarone “with a special autograph dedication and a wooden box containing 6 really special bottles:

  • 1 Costasera, Amarone della Valpolicella Class. by Masi
  • 1 Vaio Armaron, Amarone della Valpolicella Class. by Serego Alighieri
  • 1 Riserva Costasera, Amarone della Valpolicella Class. by Masi
  • 1 Campolongo di Torbe, Amarone della Valpolicella Class. from the Boscaini family private collection
  • 1 Mazzano, Amarone della Valpolicella Class. from the Boscaini family private collection
  • 1 Terregiunte, Italian Wine by Masi Vespa

Campofiorin, the Supervenetian from a 250 years old winery.

“Campofiorin is an ancient wine, because it is a gentleman, and therefore cultured, poised and sophisticated, but it spans time and ethnicities to remain as contemporary as every classic.
Just like Masi is a classic, which is after all a winery whose history has become both a paradigm both in the Veneto and in Italy… and whose relationship with Valpolicella seems to be the very epitome of the phrase genius loci”
(Leila Salimbeni, “Spirito DiVino” 2017).

Wine Spectator Top 100 2015 n.8, 95 pts.

Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Serègo Alighieri Vaio Armaron 2008

An elegant, impeccably balanced red, layering sculpted tannins with finely knit flavors of plumped black cherry, plum sauce, cured tobacco, dark chocolate and woodsy spice.

A rich vein of smoky minerality sings on the lasting finish.

Drink now through 2035. 3,750 cases made.
