THE WINERY – TENUTA MASSETO

-Genesis-

On Italy’s Tuscan Coast, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea near the small village of Bolgheri, sits a magical hillside. The wine made here was never meant to exist. The potential of the unused slope was finally seen in the 1980’s when, against all odds, advice and local tradition, the first vines were planted. Over the next three decades the vineyard has revealed many secrets, but still more remain to be uncovered.

-The family-

For 700 years the Frescobaldi family has combined tradition, experience and innovation with creativity and the pursuit of excellence. The family has always looked to develop and celebrate the diversity of Tuscany’s terroir, being proud owners of some of the greatest vineyards in this region.

<<Masseto is a unique and magical place, surrounded by forests and caressed by sea breezes on hot summer days. A land which is blessed with the presence of blue clay, giving Masseto its unmistakable character.>>

Mse. Ferdinando Frescobaldi, President

MASSETO

To open a bottle, is to unleash a liquid kaleidoscope. A rare combination of sumptuous opulence and polished elegance.
As a tribute to its rugged force, its softness, and the debt it owes to the soil from which it rises, Masseto was named after the rock-hard clusters of blue clay called ‘massi’ that form on the vineyard’s surface.

-Vintage 2018-

Masseto 2018 is a wine that perfectly respects its unique terroir and vintage. Dark in color, the nose reveals perfectly ripe cherries, plums and new spiced oak. The palate is broad and rich as one would expect from a Masseto, but shows a refined and silky structure that is truly typical of 2018. The finish shows a great length with a touch of refreshing tannic hold. A particularly elegant version of Masseto which combines richness and elegance.
