TOSCANA ROSSO IGT “MASSETO” 2007 - TENUTA MASSETO: WHY WE LIKE IT
The king.
The King of red wines.
The King of Italian wines.
It is the "Masseto", son of the Tuscan hill of the same name where there was once a swamp, and where today Merlot vines grow on soils with unique characteristics, in a particularly favorable microclimate. To this we add the great quality of the super wineries - such as Tenuta dell'Ornellaia - capable of presenting, in a sort of ideal continuity, the same profile in the different vintages, while at the same time underlining what are the best peculiarities of the vintage . So here is the "Masseto" 2013, the result of a vintage that already promises to be of the highest level, with a great drinkability even when young. Manual harvest, selection of bunches on a double sorting table (before and after destemming), fermentation in both steel and wood, then two years of rest in barrique. Nothing else to add: we are talking about the best Italian Merlot, a standing ovation-worthy superstar. Because when the King shows off his crown, then really there is none for anyone.
