2019 Masseto

The Ornellaia Masseto has developed beautifully in recent years with regard to the evolution of oak and bottle aging. This is a very distinctive edition of the Italian Merlot that provides a silky and streamlined wine. The Masseto is a (cult) wine of great class! The taste is full, elegant, lots of red fruit, perfect tannins and an aftertaste of a perfect length. In the nose aromas of red fruit, such as plums, jam and hints of chocolate. This wine is now ready to drink, but will further develop in quality in the bottle, in the coming years. A wine of great class! The taste is full, elegant, lots of red fruit, perfect tannins and an aftertaste of a perfect length. In the nose aromas of red fruit, such as plums, jam and hints of chocolate.

This 2019 Masseto opens a new chapter for one of Italy’s most celebrated wines, and it’s the second vintage made entirely in his dedicated, state-of-the-art winery. (and the first to feature 10% Cabernet Franc added to what has traditionally been a pure expression of Merlot), the 2019 Masseto has two key themes at its heart: concentration and elegance. And managing those two seemingly contrasting elements takes a bit of magic. That’s the Masseto magic we’re looking for. The 2019 vintage delivers, with deliciously concentrated fruit, blackberry, integrated spice, tobacco, crushed slate, pencil shaving and plenty of texture for a lingering mouthfeel. Dark fruit and ripe blackberry slowly flow into spice, leather, chocolate and sweet tobacco. The wine shows generous extraction and concentration; yet it remains light and lifted throughout and so insanely balanced. Packaged in OWC/1

The 2019 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto has been awarded 98/100 points by the Wine Advocate (Parker) and 99/100 by James Suckling.
