Massetino – Toscana IGT – Red – 2022:
The Immediate Luxury of a Super Tuscan Icon
Massetino is not merely a ‘second wine’; it is the vibrant, earlier-drinking expression of the legendary Masseto terroir, meticulously crafted by Tenuta dell’Ornellaia. Predominantly Merlot with a strategic addition of Cabernet Franc, this wine captures the essence of the Bolgheri style: immense power, concentration, and remarkable tannic precision.
Tasting Notes: A Profile of Power and Finesse
- Color: Deep, intense ruby red.
- Nose: Complex and highly expressive. Expect a powerful core of dark fruits (black cherry, mulberry) layered with subtle notes of graphite, wild rosemary, and a sophisticated hint of vanilla and baking spices from the French oak.
- Palata: Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, showcasing a vertical structure and a velvety, plush texture. The tannins are ultra-fine and polished, beautifully framed by a lively acidity that ensures a long, juicy finish. It’s succulent, structured, and ready to impress.
Pairing & Service Recommendations
This wine demands a dish of equal stature. We recommend decanting for one hour prior to serving to allow the complex aromatics to fully unfold. Serve at 61-63°F (16-17°C).
