WINEMAKER'S NOTE:
Born during the warm days of this intense vintage, the nose of Massetino 2022 already expresses all the warmth of the sun that it encountered as it ripened in the vineyard. Vibrancy and length on the palate encourages you to return to the glass to grasp the profound nuances of Massetino 2022, which closes with a freshness reminiscent of pleasant September nights. As for its firm tannins and pulpy red fruit flavors, they carry a beautiful fullness on the palate that never seems to subside.
TASTING NOTES:
I've said that the Masseto feels like watching magic up close, and the Massetino is no less dexterous or impressive, nor does it deliver any less joy. It is perhaps like seeing the performer backstage after the show--hair down, tie loosened, smiling genuinely. A rare moment of intimacy with someone who is always in the spotlight.

This is refined and fresh with hints of sandalwood to the beautiful blue fruits. It’s medium-bodied with creamy and polished tannins that frame the blue fruit and hints of crushed stone. Succulent and juicy with a crunchy personality.
