Masseto 2018 — Tuscany's cult Merlot, a single-vineyard masterpiece of power and grace.
Grown on the coastal hills of Bolgheri, Masseto is one of Italy's most sought-after wines. The 2018 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions, yielding a Merlot of both elegance and intensity, aged around two years in French oak.
A full-bodied, velvety red of remarkable balance and depth. Layers of dark fruit, chocolate and spice unfold over supple tannins, with the structure to evolve for years in the cellar.
