Description
The first wine produced and released from the Masseto vineyard was the 1986 vintage. It was simply called "Merlot". The name of Masseto then appeared on the label with the 1987 vintage.
Masseto is a wine of great and complex personality where its remarkable structure always combine with beautiful elegance. Naturally each vintage has its own identity and exemplifies, for the enjoyment of its aficionados, the stunning possibilities of interpretations which climate variations offer: noble opulence for the 2001, dense tannic structure for the 1988, or great elegance for the 2007...
So each vintage of Masseto is one and yet, at the same time, a piece of a whole . A single testimonial of the unique alliance of terroir, climate, and human talent which defines Masseto, as well as an inspiring evidence of Masseto's timeless value.
Tasting
Masseto 2018 is a wine that perfectly expresses its unique terroir and vintage.
Eye : with its dark colour.
Nose : expressive of perfectly ripe plums and cherries, as well as some spicy touches of new oak.
Palate : the wine is full and rich, qualities expected from a Masseto, but it also shows the refined and silky texture so typical of the 2018 vintage. The finish is long, with a refreshing tannic presence. A particularly elegant version of Masseto, combining richness and refinement.
