WINE DESCRIPTION
Masseto Massetino is a highly sought-after wine produced by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, a renowned winery located in the Bolgheri appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the Masseto vineyard, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels for 24 months. The resulting wine is a rich and complex expression of those grape varieties, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of minerality.
