TASTING NOTES
Toscana Rosso Massetino by Masseto is a wine produced by the renowned Masseto Estate, located in the wine region of Tuscany, specifically in the Bolgheri area, one of the most famous regions for the production of great Italian reds. This wine is a blend of Merlot, with a small contribution of Cabernet Franc, but its main character remains that of a high-quality Merlot. The grapes are harvested by hand, with careful selection to ensure the highest quality of the bunches. The winemaking follows traditional methods, with alcoholic fermentation taking place in small oak barrels, followed by malolactic fermentation, also carried out in wood, to give the wine a complex structure and unique elegance. The wine then matures for around 12 to 18 months in oak barriques, allowing the Massetino to develop remarkable depth and finesse, resulting in a great harmony between structure and smoothness. The Toscana Rosso Massetino has an intense, vibrant ruby red color, with violet highlights, characteristic of great Merlot wines. On the nose, it is complex and intense, with aromas of ripe red fruit, such as black cherry and plum, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper, licorice, and a subtle hint of tobacco. With aeration, delicate nuances of dark chocolate and honey emerge, adding even greater depth to the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is soft and silky, yet structured and complex, with well-integrated tannins that provide a long finish. The aftertaste is smooth, enveloping, and enhanced by a pleasant mineral freshness that balances the wine's richness. Massetino pairs beautifully with rich and structured dishes. It is perfect with red meats, such as beef fillet, braised meat, or rack of lamb, which highlight the wine's smoothness and complexity. It also pairs excellently with game dishes, such as wild boar or pheasant, which accentuate its spicy notes. The wine is also an excellent match for more refined dishes, such as those featuring porcini mushrooms or truffle. For cheeses, it pairs perfectly with aged pecorino, castelmagno, or toma piemontese, which reflect the wine's complex and refined character. The Toscana Rosso Massetino is a wine of great prestige, ideal for special occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, gala dinners, or other elegant celebrations. Its structure and elegance make it perfect for moments of reflection or as a meditation wine, offering a rich and enduring sensory experience. Moreover, thanks to its complexity and potential for aging, it is an excellent choice for collectors and wine connoisseurs of great wines. To fully appreciate all the nuances of Toscana Rosso Massetino, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 18-20°C. This will allow the wine to fully express its aromatic complexity, tannic structure, and rich elegance, ensuring a fulfilling tasting experience. It is also advised to decant the wine for an hour before serving to facilitate oxygenation and allow the complete bouquet to emerge.
