Masseto 2021 is one of Italy's most iconic and sought-after wines, produced from a single seven-hectare vineyard on the famed Masseto Hill in Bolgheri. Crafted entirely from Merlot, the wine owes its unique identity to the vineyard's distinctive blue clay soils, which provide both immense power and remarkable finesse. First released in 1986, Masseto has become one of the world's most collectible wines and is often regarded as the ultimate expression of Merlot outside of Pomerol.
The outstanding 2021 vintage combines concentration, freshness, and precision. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of blackberry, black cherry, cassis, plum, violet, cocoa, sweet tobacco, graphite, and Mediterranean herbs. As the wine opens, additional notes of cedar, liquorice, spice, and mineral complexity emerge, reflecting the vineyard's unique clay-rich terroir.
On the palate, Masseto 2021 is rich and full-bodied yet extraordinarily refined. Dense layers of dark fruit are framed by velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a powerful mineral core. The texture is seamless and luxurious, balancing opulence with remarkable elegance. Notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, graphite, and savoury spice unfold across an exceptionally long finish marked by freshness and precision.
Widely regarded as one of the finest wines produced in Tuscany, Masseto 2021 possesses the structure and balance to evolve gracefully for decades. While already captivating, it is expected to develop increasing complexity over the next 25 to 30 years, revealing further nuances of truffle, tobacco, dried flowers, and earthy sophistication. A profound expression of Bolgheri terroir and one of the benchmark Merlots of the world.

Wines of Tuscany
Tuscany, or Toscana in Italian, is one of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery, and history. Located in central Italy along the west coast, its production of Sangiovese wines is world renowned. Some of Italy’s most famous subregions for Sangiovese such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano can be found here.
Tuscany makes both simple and top tier, age worthy Sangiovese wines. At entry-level you have a wine that is pizza and pasta friendly with bright and juicy red fruit. On the other hand, the highest quality representations of Sangiovese are remarkably complex with flavours ranging from sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs and leather to fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco.
In evidence of the quality produced, Tuscany produces the third highest volume of DOC and DOCG quality wines in Italy, only trailing Piedmont, and Veneto. DOC and DOCG wines are the highest designation for Italian wines, while you will often see the IGT classification used to represent wines from Toscana that do not reach the standards for DOC/G.
There is another unofficial class of Tuscan wines called Super Tuscans which also command high prices. These wines are often made from international wine varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese.
