Masseto
The Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Masseto 2002 is an icon among Tuscan Red Wines and ranks among the most sought-after Merlots worldwide. The legendary Tenuta dell'Ornellaia estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany , cultivates the Masseto vineyard with exceptional care. The heavy, clay soil and maritime climate create ideal conditions for this single-varietal Merlot, which matures in small French oak barrels, developing remarkable complexity.
The vinification of the Masseto 2002 adheres to the estate's uncompromising quality standards. Following rigorous hand-harvesting and selection, temperature-controlled fermentation takes place, followed by 24 months of aging in new French oak barrels. This meticulous treatment gives the wine its distinctive structure and enormous aging potential.
On the nose, the Masseto 2002 unfolds a complex bouquet of dark berries, cassis, and blackberries, accompanied by notes of chocolate, tobacco, and delicate spices. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, with perfectly integrated tannins and impressive concentration. The long, elegant finish, with hints of dark fruit and cedar, underscores the exceptional quality of this wine.
