Masseto 750ml 2020

Masseto’s history dates back to the early 1980s, when acclaimed Russian-American oenologist André Thcelicheff the estate’s first consultant, suggested that the terroir of the Masseto hill, with its unique gray and blue clay, would be particularly well suited to planting Merlot. The name Masseto, in fact, comes from the presence of the masses of clay on the hill, which are as hard as rock: “masso” in Italian means “rock” or “boulder.”

Tasting: The palate is full-bodied and decadent, with a velvety texture and notes of black plum, fresh leather, and scorched mineral earth.
