"A legendary vintage of breathtaking elegance."
The 2022 Masseto is a prestigious Italian red wine from Bolgheri, Tuscany, crafted primarily from Merlot grown on the estate’s unique blue clay soils. This vintage presents a vibrant, bright red color with a complex aromatic profile of concentrated red berries, dark stones, and delicate hints of sage and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is powerful and full-bodied, balancing its rich fruit density with a surprising freshness and polished tannins that lead to a structured, saline finish. While approachable in its youth, this exceptional wine is built for longevity and is expected to age gracefully through 2050 and beyond.
