Massetino Toscana IGT, Masseto 2020 Italian Red Wine

Massetino Toscana IGT, Masseto 2020 Italian Red Wine is a highly acclaimed second label from the legendary Masseto estate, offering a refined blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. This vintage displays a bold purple color and a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and dark berries, accented by notes of sandalwood, sweet spices, and undergrowth. On the palate, the wine is generous and rich, balancing opulent fruit with a silk-like texture, vibrant acidity, and fine-grained, velvety tannins that lead to a long, persistent finish. Aged for 15 months in oak, with 12 months in 50% new barrels before blending, it perfectly captures the power and freshness of a warm, sunny growing season. This elegant Super Tuscan is already approachable but possesses significant aging potential, making it a sophisticated expression of the Bolgheri terroir.
