Why Masi is revamping Campofiorin Valpolicella-based producer Masi has refreshed the identity of its Campofiorin Rosso Verona IGT both inside and outside the bottle, as brand ambassador – and seventh generation member of the family th...

Masi's Campofiorin was the first commercially released Ripasso wine in the late 1950s, and Masi actually trademarked the term "Ripasso." They lost a lawsuit in 2006 and the term became open to all producers.

What Is Ripasso? Because wine is never simple, the story ofRipasso is the story ofAmarone, which is the story ofRecioto, which is also the story of Valpolicella, all wines from Italy’s Veneto region. As fun as it is t...

An old school wine hack! Ripasso means "re-passed." Winemakers pour regular Valpolicella wine directly over the leftover Amarone grape skins, which triggers a second fermentation, loading the wine with extra tannins, dried fruit, and spice.
