Masseto 2013 - Classic Vintage of a Legendary Wine

Masseto 2013 is one of the world's most prestigious and sought-after wines, produced by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia in the Toscana IGT, Bolgheri region. This exceptional red wine is made from 100% Merlot grapes from a single 7-hectare vineyard with rare Pliocene blue clay soils.

2013 Vintage - Classic Year

The 2013 vintage in Tuscany is considered a classic vintage, characterized by balanced climatic conditions that allowed for optimal grape ripening. The result is a wine of great elegance, structure, and aging potential.

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 gives the wine extraordinary structure, depth, and longevity. This unique terroir is the secret behind Masseto's greatness.

Minimalist and Respectful Winemaking

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

Complex Tasting Profile

Masseto 2013 presents complex and deep aromas of ripe dark fruits, plums, black cherries, sweet spices, dark chocolate, mineral notes, and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it reveals supreme elegance, with a velvety texture, silky and perfectly integrated tannins, excellent freshness, and an extraordinarily persistent finish.

Aging Potential

This is a collector's wine with enormous evolutionary potential (20-30 years or more). Perfect for special occasions and to accompany noble red meats, game, black truffles, and high-end gastronomy dishes.
