Massetino Toscana IGT 2021
Massetino, sibling of the great Tuscan icon, had its first vintage in 2017, released in 2019, precisely 30 years after Masseto's first vintage. Like its older brother, it juxtaposes power and opulence with discretion and classicism.
Vinification and ageing: The grapes were harvested by hand in 15kg boxes. Fermentation took place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts at temperatures of around 25-28°C, with pumping over two or three times a day and destages when necessary.
Malolactic fermentation took place in barriques, with 50 per cent new oak. After the first 12 months of ageing, the wine was blended and aged again in barriques for a further three months before being bottled.
Producer's tasting notes: A wine characterised by integrity, freshness and bright colours. The aromas are immediately memorable for their persistence and fullness. The vibrant, youthful and evolving tannins keep the palate alive with tenacity. Massetino 2021 is as powerful as the vintage in which it was born
Varieties: Merlot 90%, Cabernet Franc 10%

The Masseto 2021 Massetino is mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc for good measure. The wine (packaged in a heavy glass bottle) is very richly concentrated and layered. You see (and taste) the opulent texture of the wine as it slowly coats the glass. Quality fruit is matched by carefully selected oak, and the intensity of both builds on the palate. This vintage is poised for especially long cellar aging. This vintage of Massetino (2021) scores neck-in-neck with the current vintage (2020) of Masseto.
