"In 2022, the more refined style that began to emerge here, along with the vintage's distinctive character, resulted in a very elegant Masseto. The 2022 is a superbly refined Masseto." Antonio Galloni, 95 points/100
" It is generous throughout the mouthfeel, and although approachable from the start, it reveals itself to be more structured in the finish ." Jeb Dunnuck, 98+ points/100
Masseto is a cult Italian winery located in Tuscany , renowned for producing one of the world's finest Merlot wines . Situated on the coastal hills of Bolgheri , the vineyard benefits from a unique terroir of blue clay.
A new sense of elegance is palpable at Masseto . The wines were already tending to move away from power and opulence before estate manager Axel Heinz returned to Bordeaux at the beginning of 2023. His departure likely accelerated the changes that were already underway. The new team, led by winemaker Gaia Cinnirella and production manager Marco Balsimelli, has finished and blended the 2022s, wines that display a lighter style.
