Utter Brilliance:
2010 Ornellaia Masseto

Posted by Ian McFadden

Masseto is an utterly singular wine. It is also one of the iconic and great wines of the world.

There's simply no getting around the fact that Masseto is one of the most compelling expressions of Merlot on the planet. I can't think of a single super-Tuscan that is chased down as intensely.

The first vintage of Masseto was 1988. It quickly became one of the most important and collected wines of Tuscany. There are three vineyards that are used for Masseto. Depending on the vintage, all or just some of the vineyards will be selected for bottling. Regardless, it represents a painstaking selection and then, a masterful blend to achieve the unique completeness and harmony that is Masseto.

It's impossible to overlook Masseto's epic power and regal poise. Few wines carry intensity with such refinement. If you're looking to capture what makes Masseto special, the 2010 is an ideal place. 

This is a legendary vintage of Masseto. The 2010 is a study in balance and density with impeccable finesse and class. From day one, the wine stood out for its purity and precision. 

Even in the fairly long and illustrious history, the 2010 is a standout. It is a brilliant example of the wine. I'm very happy to offer.
