Masseto Magnum 1995

HED1592 150cl 13.5%
This is a fine vintage, despite experiencing cool, rainy weather at the start of harvest. The result is a great Masseto, ripe and opulent, that has developed considerable elegance over the years. Sensuous smooth fruit, dark chocolate and roast expresso beans on the nose. A densely-woven, velvet-textured palate with expressive tannins. Here is a 1995 that has reached full maturity and will still hold nicely for many years. Offered in glorious Magnum format.

Masseto

A stand-out name on the Tuscan wine scene, the wines of Masseto are produced from vines first planted in the 1980s. The estate is situated on Italy’s Tuscan Coast, on a magical hillside overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea near the small village of Bolgheri. 'Masseto' was named after the rock-hard clusters of blue clay known as ‘massi’ that form on the vineyard’s surface. Originally the brainchild of Lodovico Antinori, the Masseto estate has been owned by the prestigious Tuscan Frescobaldi family since 2005.

In the words of Estate Director, Axel Heinz, 'At Masseto, we try to do as little as possible to the wines. Our goal is simply to capture the essence of nature and take it to the highest level. This is about an amazing, very challenging, vineyard and wine made with great simplicity. We have tanks. We have barrels. We have gravity flow. And we have people who care about the wine. That’s it. That’s our philosophy.'
