Rarer than its older brother Masseto and half the price - A dark, super-intense, rich and complex wine
If there is one winery in Tuscany that contends with the chateaux in Bordeaux and Burgundy, it has to be Masseto. It even sells a large proportion of its production through Bordeaux wine merchants. Set under the sunny Bolgheri region of Italy, Masseto’s iconic vineyard stretches across a gently sloping valley, where greyish-blue clay lies underfoot and the Tyrrhenian Sea ricochets light across the vines.
Massetino, the second exceptional wine from the Tenuta dell'Ornellaia estate in Tuscany, reflects all the richness and refinement of the Masseto region. Made with the same attention to detail as the Masseto, the super small production Massetino (around 10,000 bottles only) is made from younger vines but is equally unique.
Derived from unique clay and gravelly soils, it develops a deep ruby color and an elegant nose of black fruits, spices and woody notes. On the palate, its velvety tannins and harmonious structure reveal a balanced, concentrated and refined wine. Massetino is a perfect accompaniment to red meats, game and aged cheeses.
This rare and sought-after Tuscan wine embodies the excellence and elegance of Italian Grand Cru wines.
