Masseto 2021 by Masseto is a very fine label based on 100% Merlot, a true reference for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. The homonymous vineyard of origin is developed in three parts - Centrale, Junior and Alto - in the territory of Bolgheri (LI). Here the soils are characterized by silty clays and blue clays, located at an altitude of about 120 meters above sea level. In the cellar, the carefully selected bunches were subjected to soft pressing. The alcoholic fermentation of Masseto 2021 took place in stainless steel at a temperature of 25-28 ° C, with maceration of the must on the skins for 15-20 days. The assembly of the three parcels took place after 12 months of aging in barriques. The wine was subsequently refined for a further 12 months in the same containers.

MASSETO 2021: THE TASTING
The Masseto 2021 by Masseto stands out in the glass with an intense ruby ??red color with bright reflections. On the nose it releases aromas of ripe berries, violet petals and notes of dark spices. The olfactory profile is complemented by hints of Mediterranean scrub, tobacco and cocoa powder. The taste is intense, structured and with good freshness, supported by a mature and silky tannic texture. It closes with a long and compelling balsamic and spicy finish. At the table, the Masseto 2021 pairs well with aged cheeses and succulent land dishes based on red meat or game.
