Masseto 2019 Vintage

Lodovico Antinori dared to bet on his clayey Masseto soil, which offered ideal conditions for Merlot combined with cool coastal breezes and the nearby Mediterranean Sea presence. His intuition was to bear fruit with elegance, complexity, and power - the result was a Super Tuscan success. The first Masseto vintages were vinified and aged at Ornellaia, but in 2019 they were finally able to open their doors at Massetos winery. The facility is 27,000 square meters and contains modern and state-of-the-art vinification systems to do justice to the Masseto. The 2019 Masseto, the main subject of this investment case, is thus the first vintage made here, which is why it is also described as the start of a whole new chapter in the Masseto adventure. Masseto is a single-estate wine that is only produced in the region of 30,000 bottles per year. And along with its legendary status, this scarcity means Masseto is hard to get your hands on. A legendary status also places Masseto as the most exclusive, expensive, and prestigious Super Tuscan on the market - if not the most prestigious of all Italian wines. “In Masseto 2019, the young colour is reminiscent of an intense and harmonious wine of exceptional aromas and flavours, rich in red fruit scents and viola nuances,” explains Gaia Cinnirella, Estate Winemaker. “The dimension of the fruit is striking in the mouth, entwining with dreamy, velvety and elegant tannins, plus a refreshing and vibrant finish, where power and simplicity enchant the palate and tell the story of this unique place.”
