Deep-toned black cherry and cassis roll through Masseto 2016, framed by dark spice, cedar and a subtle wild herb and floral lift, all carried on a rich yet poised palate. Immensely concentrated but impeccably sculpted, its satin-fine tannins and vibrant acidity give this legendary Merlot an almost architectural sense of depth and length, promising extraordinary complexity 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.”
