Description

Massetino on Masseto veinimaja uus vein, mille esimene aastakäik oli 2017. Sama veiniaed ja lähenemine nagu Masseto puhul, lihtsalt Massetino lõplik segu otsustakse erinevate vaatide kokkusegamisel. Lisaks on Massetinos ka 6% Cabernet Franc’i, ülejäänud Merlot. Laagerdub tammevaatides 15 kuud (50% uus tamm) ja enne müügile tulekut veel 12 kuud pudelis. Tehakse väga limiteeritud koguses, vähem kui 5000 pudelit.

“The estate’s second wine, Massetino is produced in even smaller quantities than the flagship Masseto. First produced in the 2017 vintage from younger vines now approaching 20 years old, with some plot selection too, it has always included a small proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend along with the Merlot. Massetino 2020 is a precise wine with beautifully aromatic plum and cherry scents supported by touches of damp earth and liquorice. In the mouth, soft, bright cherry and peppery spice are given definition by clean acidity and fine-grained tannins, with a long, floral and fresh finish. Gorgeous.” Decanter 95 points

“The Masseto 2020 Massetino (Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc) is extremely generous and rich. This wine puts it all out there in full view with a bouquet that is stitched together with ripe blackberry and black cherry preserves, black stone or pencil shaving, sweet spice, cigar, smoke and tar. This was a warm and sunny vintage, and you feel the power of those sunbeams locked within the dark, opulent and concentrated fruit on display here. This is a special treat, and the 2020 edition offers a clear identity for Massetino. This vintage comes close to out-powering the bouquet of the 2019 Masseto also hitting the market now.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 95 points

“Very floral and perfumed with red fruits and hints of sandalwood. Medium body, very fresh and fine yet open grained. Crisp and long. Hard not to drink now. But better in three or four years when it comes together. 97% merlot and 3% cabernet franc.” James Suckling 95 points

“The 2020 Massetino pours a rich ruby hue, with a perfume of crushed violets, ripe plum, lavender, and candied raspberry. It is full-bodied and has fresh acidity without any edginess. With notes of ripe red plum and pencil shavings, it reveals great length and an attractive flourish and lift of menthol. The tannin structure is youthful and ripe and will take several years to unwind to its full potential.” Jeb Dunnuck 94+ points
