Masseto 2020 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Toscana IGT 100% Merlot 0.75L

Masseto 2020 - Italy's Most Iconic Wine

Masseto 2020 is one of the most prestigious and sought-after wines in the world, produced by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia in Toscana IGT, Bolgheri region. This exceptional red wine is made with 100% Merlot grapes sourced from a single 7-hectare vineyard with unique blue (Pliocene) clay soils.

Unique Blue Clay Terroir

The Masseto vineyard is divided into three distinct areas with different types of clay, each contributing unique characteristics. The Pliocene blue clay is extremely rare and imparts extraordinary structure, depth, and aging potential to the wine. This unique terroir is the secret behind Masseto's greatness.

Minimalist Winemaking Philosophy

Masseto's winemaking philosophy is to follow nature without forcing things. The vines are carefully managed by hand, with meticulous attention to every detail. In the cellar, minimal intervention is the keyword – the extraordinarily concentrated grapes do not require sophisticated winemaking, only simple and respectful operations.
