Masseto 2011

Masseto is unequivocally a Tuscan icon produced from a celebrated 7ha plot of Merlot. The 2011 vintage was deemed as superb by the critics, receiving very high scores. With the 2011 vintage, Masseto returns to a typically Mediterranean expression of a warm year in the Bolgheri terroir. Yet the overall impression is one of superb balance and measure, notwithstanding the wine’s rich concentration and ripeness. Explosive aromas of gloriously-ripe wild red berry fruit cosseted by hints of toasty oak and dark chocolate. A full-bodied palate impresses with its deep concentration and opulence, displaying remarkably supple, glossy tannins, concluding on a crisp, refreshing finish.
