Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Classic "super Venetian." This is one of the more interesting non-traditional cuvees from Masi.
It's a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta. It is also the premium version of the ubiquitous red labeled Campofiorin.
Deep and dark ruby, it has pleasant and inviting aromatics. Fig, prune, blackberry, vherry, smoke, and aniseed.
Great acodity and length - utterly drinkable and tasty. Not too complex, but with loads of charm. Blackberry, dark cherry, ruminating smoke, leather, and more licoricey spice.
When you drink this wine, you're drinking an endangered species; albeot one making a comeback. The rare Oseleta varietal is incorporated into this wine. It's a grape grown pretty much only around Verona and Masi are the biggest advocate of its use. It provides more body, darker fruit, and more tannic structure than little Corvina and pretty Rondinella. Its name derives from a local dialect. It means little bird, because at a distance its clusters look like little plump birds sitting on the vine.
