Tasting note:

Full-bodied and mouth-watering with pleasant tart cherry notes accented by other dark fruits. Gorgeous texture and length. Perfect for when you’re reading Dante’s Inferno. They make this Valpolicella wine in the ripasso style with a second fermentation on the skins and stems of their amarone. Food matches: grilled meats, spiced lamb, nutty firm cheese.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Dan Trcka rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2006 Masi Brolo Di Campofiorin, composed of 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella, is light to medium bodied, with nice aromas of integrated cherry, almond and prominent wood notes. It has dusty tannins (decant for 30 to 60 min) and nice and long finish. The wine can age for the next 5 or so years with the possibility of leathery note evolution. My impression: NICE to BEAUTIFUL, 89 pts - I would recommend this wine even though it’s a bit $$ for what you are getting. Tasted Feb/11.
