From the heart of the prestigious Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, the Masseto 2019 reveals itself as a true masterpiece of the Bolgheri terroir, a sublime representation of elegance and power. This red wine, produced exclusively from Merlot grapes, expresses great complexity and the winemaking artistry for which the estate is renowned. The 2019 vintage benefited from favorable climatic conditions, allowing for perfect ripening of the grapes, which is reflected in the intense aromas and harmonious structure of this wine.
On the palate, the Masseto 2019 opens with an opulent bouquet of ripe berries, plums, and dark chocolate notes, enveloped by a delicate spicy undertone and hints of aromatic herbs. The texture is silky, with well-integrated tannins that dissolve into a long and persistent finish, expressing warmth and depth. This extraordinary wine pairs magnificently with red meat dishes, such as grilled ribeye or a classic braised dish, but can also enchant alongside mushroom and truffle dishes, enhancing its elegance. Excellent for decanting for a few hours, the Masseto 2019 has the potential to age and develop further nuances over the coming decades, making it a treasure to collect. A bottle that should not be missing from any true wine lover's cellar.
