The Boscaini family keeps a unique collection of fine wines in its private cellars, produced in limited quantities and only in the best years, which the family likes to share with lovers of Masi wines. Campolongo di Torbe is Masi’s elegant cru version of Amarone, with smooth almond aromas, great intensity and balance. The grapes come from the eponymous vineyard, which has been noted for its quality since the XII century.Taste Notes Deep, powerful ruby red in colour with a dense texture.The bouquet is strong and very attractive with a slight sweetness that is reminiscent of plum jam and cherries preserved in spirit. Firm but soft and silky tannins on the palate and an attractive acidity to balance the ample body. Long and intense on the finish with hints of baked fruit and a touch of spiciness.Wine File Producer: MasiCountry: ItalyRegion: VenetoSub Region: ValpolicellaStyle: RedWine Primary Grape(s): CorvinaBottle Size: 75clAlcohol: 16.0%Closure: Natural CorkVegan: YesContains Sulphites: YesUnits Per Bottle: 12.0Find this and more exceptional selections at Kaasak.

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

Prefers well-drained loam or sandy loam; avoid clay-heavy or waterlogged soil.
Add compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0.

Planting Instructions

Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
