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
The 2019 Masseto harvest took place a little later than usual, giving the grapes time to benefit from the sunny but mild weather of early September, resulting in a dense but harmonious expression. The young colour suggests a rich, intense wine, with a bouquet of classic scents of ripe cherries, violets, liquorice and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full and dense with velvety, refined tannins that coat the palate, leaving a lively, fresh finish.
