What does this wine tast like?
Sassicaia
Often nicknamed the “Italian Petrus”, Masseto is an outstanding single vineyard wine crafted from 100% Merlot grapes. The Masseto story begins in the 1980s when Lodovico Antinori founded a new estate on land his mother had given him from her holdings in Bolgheri. He was determined to craft top quality Bordeaux-style wines with the influence of the unique Tuscan terroir. First was the Ornellaia which celebrated its first vintage in 1985, closely followed by the powerhouse sister wine Masseto. Following Masseto’s debut release in 1987 the wine has racked up a slew of outstanding scores. Top recent vintages include the 2016, 2015 and 2005 which all received a perfect 100 point score from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate. The wine also performs well as an investment, with Masseto 2006 achieving consistent growth of 46% over the past five years.
