MASSETO - Ornellaia Masseto
Masseto is one of the most sought-after Italian wines in the world, along with Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia and Solaia. A renowned Super Tuscan by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia that stands out as a distinguished all-Merlot wine. Its aromatic complexity, rich fruit, and sturdy tannins have earned it global acclaim and high auction values, classified as IGT Toscana. André Tchelistcheff identified its potential due to its clay-rich site, managed in small plots. Fermented in stainless steel, aged in French oak barrels, and released since 1984, Masseto produces around 35,000 bottles annually. Owned by the Frescobaldis since 2005, it retains Michel Rolland's expertise since Tchelistcheff's passing in 1994.
