Blackberry, blueberry and currant cascade from the glass in Masseto Masseto 1999, edged by violet, liquorice and a gentle sheen of sweet oak, with a subtle savoury note in the background. On the palate it feels powerful yet composed, with firm, chewy tannins, deep, dark fruit and impressive precision that stretches into a long, fresh, finely polished finish. A serious, quietly opulent Masseto that shows how graceful this vintage can be with time in bottle.

Masseto by Masseto is an iconic, single-vineyard Super Tuscan red made entirely from Merlot, grown on just seven hectares of blue- and grey-clay soils on the Masseto hill in Bolgheri on Tuscany’s coast. Crafted by the Masseto estate (historically part of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia), it marries the power and richness of perfectly ripened Merlot with a distinctive mineral-driven elegance and longevity, earning it a reputation as one of Italy’s most collectible and sought-after wines, often likened to “the Italian Pétrus.”
