Instead, 20 to 25% of the wine is now fermented in concrete tanks, with the remainder in oak barrels. One feature of the new winery has been to move away from the use of stainless steel, which they found could contribute to reductive qualities. Their new winery, which debuted in 2018, was designed by architects Hikaru Mori and Maurizio Zito of the ZitoMori Studio, who named it “The Quarry.” It is an impressive design, with the exterior blending into the landscape, only to reveal its true grandeur upon entering the winery beneath. The adjacent sister property to Ornellaia, the Masseto estate in Bolgheri produces benchmark wines based on Merlot, with its first vintage in 1987. A beautiful wine, it is showing its pedigree now but should certainly be cellared, as this is going to be a wine to enjoy over the next several decades.
Luxurious with red and black fruits, it offers notes of pure red apple, blackberry, graphite, and lavender, and it is long and persistent while retaining a transparent nature with a refreshing feel.
MASSETO WINE FOR SALE FULL
The palate is full and refined, with well-managed and fine tannin structure. The 2019 Masseto is a remarkably potent wine woven with layers of incense, polished leather, and macchia herbs.
