Dark, lavish fruit and sweet spice roll out of the glass, with black cherry, blackberry, cocoa, cedar and a touch of coffee giving the 2015 Masseto a sense of both hedonism and poise. On the palate it is powerful and layered, dense in tannin yet silkily textured, channeling its generosity into a long, focused finish where dark berries, licorice and a faint mineral edge linger for ages. This is a statuesque Tuscan Merlot that captures 2015’s exuberance but keeps everything in perfect, disciplined line.

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.”
