Masseto 2018 Tenuta Masseto

Masseto 2018 perfectly reflect its unique terroir and the related vintage. The colour is dark ruby red; the nose is wide and intense with notes of ripe cherries, plum, new spicy oak; some more complex scents of dark chocolate, tobacco and truffle finally emerge. In the mouth Masseto is rich and complex, unvealing a refined and silky structure typical of 2018 vintage. The after-taste is persistent and pleasantly tannic. This is a very elegant version of Masseto, able to merge richness and elegance.

The Ornellaia winery was born in 1981 thanks to the intuition of the Marchese Ludovico Antinori, which want to use the 70 hectares of his propriety for producing fine wines.
The domain is located down the Bolgheri hills, in a territory just a few kilometers far from the Mediterranean coast,where the vineyards can express themselves at the best.
In 2005 Marchesi de Frescobaldi company acquired the winery, but the philosophy of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia never changes: enhancing every nuance of the terroir, every vintage, preserving the "Ornellaia style".
Every year, starting from the release of the excellent Ornellaia 2006, the winery asks to a contemporary artist to sign some bottles and draw their labels:then they are auctioned for art fundraising. From April 2019 Masseto has its own winery; the Masseto winery is the concrete and monolithic symbol of this wine.
