Masi CAMPOLONGO di TORBE Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Veneto
Description: DESCRIPTION OF THE WINE Campolongo di Torbe is the most elegant of Masi’s Amarone crus. It is characterized by a rounded almondy flavour and by great intensity and balance. The choice of this vineyard is based not only on many years of technical experimentation at the Masi winery, but also on a very important historical document that indicates Mazzano and Torbe vineyards as the best in the valley for the production of this high-quality wine. In fact, with a contract dated 1194 , the monks of San Zeno Monastery, landowners of the entire Negrar Valley, leased the land to a certain Musio di Panego for a period of 29 years. The rent had to be paid with a certain quantity of grapes produced in the best area of the fiefdom, indicated as the Mazzano vineyards. If the vineyards yielded a poor crop because of hail, or other reasons, grapes had to be harvested at Capavo. This denomination is no longer in use but it corresponds to the upper hillside area of Torbe, where the vineyards of Campolongo di Torbe are now located. (6 x 75 cl)

Cielo E Terra BLUSH Pinot Grigio delle Venezie IGT
Description: Cielo e Terra was established in 1908, thanks to the passion of vinegrowering families from the Veneto Region. Today, Cielo e Terra has taken root in over 3000 hectares of vineyards cultivated by the vinegrowers of the Cantine dei Colli Berici. The aim of this Cantine is to enhance the wine and culture of the Berici Hills, innovate the quality and image of the wines and promote increased control over the entire vine-growing and wine-producing chain. This has resulted in a rose coloured wine with copper reflections and a refined, intense bouquet with extremely pleasing hints of fruit. Slightly sparkling with a pleasing palate it is an enjoyable, harmonious wine. (12 x 75 cl)
