MASSETO 2011

Winemaker Notes

Masseto
Masseto is a 100% Merlot of exceptional pedigree, crafted in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany at the renowned Tenuta dell’Ornellaia estate. Produced from just 7 hectares of vineyard, each parcel rooted in mineral-rich gray clay, this rare wine is often hailed as “the Petrus of Italy.”

Deep ruby red in the glass, Masseto reveals complex aromas of wild herbs, blackcurrant, blackberry, and warm spices. On the palate, it is opulent and layered, offering a full, enveloping texture that lingers with a refined, fruity-spiced finish. Celebrated as one of Italy’s greatest and most sought-after wines, Masseto stands as a benchmark for world-class Merlot.
