Rosso rubino intenso
Ampio e intenso
Ricco e profondo
Massetino 2023 is the younger and more dynamic expression of Tenuta Masseto, a wine that accompanies the iconic Masseto while maintaining a deeply elegant style that is more immediate and approachable. It is based on a solid core of Merlot—the same grape used for Masseto—enhanced by a small percentage of Cabernet Franc. Each individual vineyard parcel is vinified separately in concrete vats, using indigenous yeasts and temperature-controlled fermentation. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barriques, 50% of which are new French oak. After the first 12 months of ageing in French oak barriques, the wine is blended and then transferred into concrete vats for approximately 4 months before bottling. The 2023 vintage reflects a complex climatic season, ultimately favorable for quality, resulting in a wine of remarkable freshness and aromatic depth. In the glass, Massetino shows a vibrant, intense ruby red colour. The bouquet is broad and intense, with notes of ripe red and black fruits, complemented by hints of spice and delicate balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is rich and juicy, with fine, polished tannins. The structure is well-defined, supported by fresh acidity. The finish is long, harmonious, and slightly savoury, with excellent ageing potential. Massetino 2023 is the ideal companion for rich pasta dishes with meat sauces, game, grilled red meats, and aged cheeses.
