The 2022 Masseto Toscana IGT is one of Italy’s most iconic and collectible wines, crafted from 100% Merlot grown on the legendary blue clay soils of Masseto Hill in Bolgheri. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it represents the pinnacle of Super Tuscan winemaking, combining power, precision and exceptional terroir expression. The nose is complex and refined, showing black plum, dark cherry and blackberry, layered with notes of cocoa, spice, cedar and mineral nuances, with subtle floral and balsamic lift.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with a velvety, structured texture and finely integrated tannins. Concentrated dark fruit, chocolate and spice are balanced by fresh acidity and a distinct mineral edge, leading to a long, powerful and elegant finish. The style is more refined and precise in 2022, showing elegance alongside depth and structure, with remarkable balance and long-term aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Masseto is a true investment-grade wine and one of the world’s greatest expressions of Merlot. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of top Right Bank Bordeaux like Pétrus. Best cellared for 10–30+ years, though decanting will reveal its potential if opened young. Perfect for the most special occasions and fine dining.
