This was a much different Masi dinner than I had been to in the past, though there were also some similarities. Similarity to previous dinners were the high-quality Masi wines, the camaraderie and the great stories and information provided by Sandro Boscaini – the difference was the inclusion of the white Masianco 2011 (pineapple, tropical notes, creamy and smooth on the palate) and the wine from Masi’s Argentinean project (started in 2000), the Malbec / Corvina appassimento Passo Doble. But this was not the focus.
Tonight’s dinner was a more casual affair and was all about introducing the new vintages of the flagship wines: 2009 Campofiorin (the original Ripasso) and 2008 Costasera (the flagship Amarone).
