Masseto
Masseto, a Rare gem among Italian wines, represents the pinnacle of the art of winemaking in Tuscany.

Description Masseto : Massetino 2021.
Massetino is the Second wine from Tenuta dell Ornellaia. Presenting itself in the glass adorned with a splendid garnet-red color with purplish highlights, the wine quickly reveals a highly perfumed nose. Notes of gourmet fruits such as raspberry and blackberry, as well as rose, blend intensely. The palate is elegant and powerful, with racy tannins and a velvety texture. Blackberry expresses itself fully, accompanied by lovely aromas of mocha, licorice and spices. The delicate finish lingers long on the palate.
