2020 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 smooth 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 perfect length. On the nose aromas of red fruit, such as plums, jam and hints of chocolate. This wine is ready to drink now, but will continue to 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 perfect length. On the nose aromas of red fruit, such as plums, jam and hints of chocolate.

This 2020 follows the 2019 with, in addition to mainly Merlot, Cabernet Franc now also added. The Masseto focuses on two important themes: concentration and elegance. And managing those two seemingly contrasting elements requires a bit of magic. That's the Masseto magic we're looking for. The Masseto delivers with wonderfully concentrated fruit, blackberries, integrated herbs, tobacco, crushed slate, pencil shavings and plenty of texture for a lasting mouthfeel. Dark fruit and ripe blackberries slowly flow into spices, leather, chocolate and sweet tobacco. The wine shows generous extraction and concentration; however, it remains light and lifted throughout and so insanely balanced.
