Massetino Toscana IGT, Masseto 2019 Italian Red Wine

Massetino Toscana IGT, Masseto 2019 Italian Red Wine is a refined and powerful second wine from the legendary Masseto estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany. This vintage is a blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, crafted under a meticulous process involving manual harvesting, spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts in concrete tanks, and aging for 15 months in oak barrels. It presents a deep, youthful purple color with a complex aromatic profile featuring ripe black fruits, violets, licorice, and spicy new oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and dense, characterized by a silky, velvety texture balanced by vibrant acidity and firm tannins, leading to a long and elegant finish with hints of dark chocolate. While approachable in its youth with aeration, this bold red wine possesses significant aging potential, reaching its peak maturity between 2029 and 2039.
