Silky yet concentrated, Masseto 2018 layers ripe black cherry and plum with notes of cedar, cocoa, dried flowers and a touch of sweet spice, all carried on an almost weightless texture. The tannins are polished and finely woven rather than burly, giving this Merlot a poised, classical profile that emphasizes elegance over power, with a long, scented finish that reveals its coastal Tuscan origins. This vintage stands out for its combination of depth, freshness and refinement, especially considering the challenges of the year.

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.”
