Masseto 2020 750ml
Product Details
Masseto 2020 is a wine that has embraced all the key traits of the vintage. It displays excellent concentration both in terms of color and bouquet. They remain persistent and vivid in the glass without subsiding overtime. The potency of this wine returns on the palate with beautiful length and balsamic flavors. The integrity of the tannin reveals the ageing potential typical of Masseto.
Malolactic fermentation took place in barriques, with 100% new oak, keeping the various batches separate for the first 12 months of ageing. Subsequently, the wines were blended and returned to barriques for another year, totalling 24 months. After bottling, the Masseto 2020 underwent a further 12 months of bottle ageing before being released on the market.
Wine Advocate Review:
The 2020 Masseto now sees new DNA with a touch of Cabernet Franc added to this celebrated Merlot-based icon wine. This is a vintage of enormous richness and density, and everything about the wine is taken up a notch or two (including the bottle glass weight and the 15% alcohol content). But Axel Heinz and his team are well prepared for the hot vintages like 2020, and changes to farming and canopy management ensure even ripening. This wine is always hard to analyze in its youth. It needs many more years to soften and flesh out. Give it time. Anticipated Maturity: 2026-2050
