Located on the Tuscan coast near Bolgheri, the vineyard\u2019s unique blue Pliocene clay soil-the 'masso'-is the foundation of this wine\u2019s extraordinary power and refined structure. Masseto is a testament to the fact that world-class Merlot can thrive outside of Pomerol.<\/p>\n<h2>Sommelier's Tasting Overview<\/h2>\n<p>This wine presents an opaque, youthful colour and an intensely layered nose of primary red and black fruits, seductive floral perfume, and mineral undertones. On the palate, it is exquisitely balanced and glossy, offering lifted fruits of juicy cherry, cassis, and raspberry, interwoven with notes of cocoa powder, graphite, and a hint of rosemary. The bright acidity and refined, granular tannins lend the wine an almost ethereal weightlessness, cleverly concealing its immense power and concentration. It is a wine of monumental finesse.<\/p>\n<h2>Food Pairing Guide<\/h2>\n<p>Serve at 18\u00b0C.
