品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
這酒本身幾乎就是一頓飯。炎熱的年份有足夠的成熟度，它的酒精度為16%，就像是一顆帶有大量黑莓果醬的炸彈。它用了70% Corvina、25% Rondinella 和 5% Molinara來混釀。深沉色澤的紅酒，在味蕾上散發出濃濃的黑果和香料味。沒有甚麼是會遺漏的，那力量、濃度和豐富的層次，在這乾燥的年份發揮到極致。葡萄酒在大橡木桶中陳年3年，而葡萄園 Capolongo di Torbe位處托斯卡尼的Negrar的高海拔(375-400米)，土壤以紅色的石灰石為主。大約生產了 15,600 瓶。(適飲期：2020-2040)

Masi is owned by the Boscaini family in Veneto, nothern Italy.  The estate has produced wide range of wines, from single-vineyard Amarone to affordable wines under the Verona IGT and delle Venezie designations.  Nowadays,  Masi owns vineyards throughout the region, including Bardolino Classico and Soave Classico. But it is famous for its Valpolicella wines, and Amarone wines especially. The Masi cellars are specifically conducive to the appassimento technique of drying grapes on bamboo racks, with the control of temperature and humidity.  As a result, the Amarone has particularly high quality.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 95 points)
2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Campolongo di Torbe is almost a meal in itself. There is plenty of ripeness from the hot vintage, but this 16% alcohol wine is just a bomb, with such a big payload of jammy blackberry. The blend is 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara. This dark and brooding wine washes over the palate with thick waves of black fruit and mesquite spice intensity. Nothing goes unnoticed here: The power, the intensity and the opulence of the wine are taken to extremes in this dry vintage. The Campo ages in large oak barrels for three years, while this fruit from the Capolongo di Torbe vineyard is grown at 375 to 400 meters above sea level in Negrar, with red, limestone-rich soils. Some 15,600 bottles were made. (Drink date: 2020-2040)
