Campo Da Calcio 2023 - Masiero

Campo Da Calcio - Masiero

Campo da Calcio by Masiero is a bold and unconventional rosé produced by the Masiero winery. This wine is not only a tribute to the land, but a true declaration of intent: it combines the structure of Merlot with the vibrant freshness of rigorous biodynamic viticulture, free from chemicals and guided by the rhythms of nature. Its unique personality comes from slow and respectful processing: the must undergoes a four-day maceration in contact with the skins, which gives the wine a magnetic color and an intense aromatic profile. The wine then undergoes a lengthy 12-month maturation process in concrete tanks. This technical choice allows the Merlot to evolve in complete purity, far from the toasted notes of wood, maintaining the minerality of the soil and the crispness of the red fruit. The result is a rosé with character, savory and profoundly gastronomic, ideal for those seeking an authentic and vibrant sip. Perfect paired with artisanal cured meats, rich fish dishes, or white meats, Campo da Calcio embodies the essence of the Masiero philosophy: pure energy, zero compromise, and an infinite love for the land.

Service

Let's taste it at a temperature around 10/12 ° C in tulip goblets. Wine to drink immediately but leave a few years in the cellar can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

Great with the second flavored meat, to try with seasoned cheeses and chocolates cooked in tomato sauce.

Cellar: Masiero

The Masiero wine-growing company was born in 2000 by a wager from Franco, owner of the company, to produce Merlot in Selva, a town on the Trinité hills between the Dolomites and the Venetian plains, about 20 km. from Vicenza. A beautiful natural amphitheater that welcomes the vineyards Selva, placed on volcanic soil, where Merlot and Pinot Nero grapes are cultivated, and Sant'Urbano. Franco at the beginning of his adventure has a conventional vine cultivation approach but soon he realizes that this method undermined life within the vineyard. Thanks to the encounter with some wine-growing friends who were approaching the biodynamic approach, it has an illumination and pushes it to deepen the knowledge on the matter. The first vintage is in 2006 with Verdugo, only 3000 bottles, and since 2014 is the beginning of a new project that tends to retrieve old vineyards of native varieties such as Garganega, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay.  Masiero wines are the natural expression of terroir.
