Masseto Description
Masseto Massetino 2022, crafted during the warm days of this intense vintage, showcases the sun's warmth through its vibrant aromas. On the palate, it offers a lively and long finish that invites you back to discover its deep nuances. The wine concludes with a freshness reminiscent of crisp September nights, while its firm tannins and rich red fruit flavors provide a full-bodied experience that lingers without fading. Ideal paired with rich first courses with meat sauces, game, slow-cooked dishes, and braised red meats.
James Suckling: 97 Points
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.
Decanter: 97 Points
Massetino is considered the second wine of Masseto, but I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that it's far more than that. It represents around one-third of the production of Masseto, and judging by the quality of this 2022, next year's release of the grand vin could be absolutely phenomenal. Massetino has always incorporated a portion of Cabernet Franc since its first vintage, 2017 – 10% in 2022. A cool and dry spring led to a slightly late budbreak, followed by 75 days of drought and high temperatures. Summer storms eventually came along to restore balance, and the cool September evenings were perfect for the grapes reach full ripeness.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
This is opulent, with a lush texture enveloping black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors. Flashes of tar, iron and wild herbs add detail as this red builds to the long finish. Balanced and fresh, with sweet, lingering oak spice notes. Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
