The Boscaini family keeps a unique collection of fine wines in its private cellars,
produced in limited quantities and only in the best years, which the family
likes to share with lovers of Masi wines.
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
