2012 Masseto by Masseto, Tuscany, Italy

The 2012 Masseto from Masseto is an enigmatic architectural marvel of oenological prowess. Situated in the heart of Bolgheri subregion in Tuscany, this celebrated Italian vineyard has tirelessly retained its prestige over the centuries. An ethereal detour from the ubiquitous Tuscan Sangiovese, the 2012 Masseto asserts itself majestically as a pure Merlot manifestation.

 

Of climatic caprice and vintage character

Tending towards a cooler discourse, 2012 spun a web of climatic drama over the Tuscan vineyards. The season’s dynamic interplay between warmth and refreshing maritime breezes offered a finessed stage setting for Merlot. The resulting 2012 vintage gracefully pirouettes between intensity and restraint in a splendid harmonious ballet.

The seductive drama of red fruit nuances makes its propitious debut on an intellectual palate: plums and blackberries saunter alongside tendrils of ripe cherries. Even amidst this operatic fruit stage, the 2012 Masseto retains an undeniable sense of elegant composure akin to the Botticelli’s Primavera.
