Massetino - Toscana IGT 2022
Massetino, the same pedigree as its elder brother
Masseto, since the 2017 harvest, is accompanied by its second wine, Massetino. Both are grown on 11 hectares on the hill of Masseto and are transformed from precious grapes into desirable bottles of wine in the cellar designed by the Zito Mori studio and inaugurated in April 2019. Massetino’s personality is already self-assured as it shares the same pedigree as Masseto. Just like its elder sibling it juxtaposes power and opulence with discretion and classicism.
The 2022 Vintage:
The 2022 vintage was marked by a standard winter and a cool, dry spring, followed by a long period of heat and drought. Summer rainfall helped restore balance to the vines before harvest. The weather conditions in September were ideal for grape maturation, with cool nighttime temperatures promoting the accumulation of sugars, aromas, and tannins. The harvest took place under excellent conditions, allowing for the optimal harvest date to be chosen for each plot of land.
Tasting notes
Born during the warm days of this intense vintage, the nose of Massetino 2022 already expresses all the warmth of the sun that it encountered as it ripened in the vineyard. Vibrancy and length on the palate encourages you to return to the glass to grasp the profound nuances of Massetino 2022, which closes with a freshness reminiscent of pleasant September nights. As for its firm tannins and pulpy red fruit flavours, they carry a beautiful fullness on the palate that never seems to subside.
