The Masseto Massetino 2023 presents itself in the glass with a profound, nearly opaque ruby hue, offering a glimpse into its depth and intensity. Aromas unfurl in a symphony of ripe, dark fruits, including luscious black cherries, plums, and cassis, harmoniously interwoven with notes of dried herbs and hints of cedar. A delicate wisp of vanilla and a touch of crushed violets add layers of intrigue. Upon the palate, this wine reveals its opulence, delivering a full-bodied experience with a velvety texture.
Blackberry and blackcurrant flavors take center stage, accompanied by nuanced nuances of dark chocolate and a whisper of espresso bean, all wrapped in finely-grained tannins. The finish is strikingly long and balanced, offering a graceful transition from fruit to a subtle minerality, underscored by a touch of black pepper and a trace of graphite, leaving an indelible impression.
Critic Ratings
Full-bodied, it is elegant and fresh, with a refined, floating texture and excellent finesse.
Massetino opens with mint, eucalyptus, balsamic tones, dark chocolate, cedar, currant, and red berry fruit. The palate is full-bodied but buoyant, combining fine-grained tannins with a refined texture and a savory Mediterranean character. Red apple and sandalwood emerge toward the long, balanced finish, where chalky depth reinforces the wine’s freshness.
The 2023 Massetino is a blend of 91% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc and confirms the growing confidence and individuality of this blend.
Despite a challenging growing season, the wine offers bright spice and layered mineral tones of graphite, smoke, and crushed stone. Cool, water-retentive clay soils help preserve depth and freshness, while Cabernet Franc brings balance to the Merlot. Chalky notes sharpen the savory finish, giving Massetino a clear identity beyond its role as Masseto’s second wine.
Lush and well-marked by toasty oak, this red displays plum, blackberry, leather, vanilla and salt flavors.
The wine is rich and oak-framed, with plum and blackberry fruit layered over leather, vanilla, and a saline accent. Dense tannins provide firm support and carry the flavors through a lightly chewy finish. It should benefit from additional integration, with its best drinking expected from 2026 through 2033.
