Massetino 2019 is a luxurious Tuscan red. It exudes opulence with its rich aromas of blackcurrant and plum, followed by hints of tobacco and dark chocolate. On the palate, it's velvety-smooth, with layers of ripe fruit and a lingering finish that leaves you longing for more. This wine is a true testament to the excellence of Bolgheri's terroir.

Tasted before bottling, the 2019 Massetino is shaping up beautifully. This is the third vintage made of the Merlot-based wine enhanced with a small part of Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet Franc is what distinguishes this euphemistically diminutive expression of Masseto, and it is its distinctive vinous signature. The 2019 vintage is soft and pliant but also incredibly rich and layered. It offers generous black fruit with ripe cherry and blackberry. Spice, tobacco and campfire ash fill in the rear and build the aromatic profile of this wine that is already stacked tall and proud. We still need to see how the 2019 plays out in the bottle, and I am especially interested to gauge how the thick and rich fruit concentration works against the less pronounced acidity of the vintage.
