Masseto is an red wine from Italy, in the Tuscany region (Central Italy, around Florence and Siena, stretching from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian coast.), made principally from Merlot. Ornellaia's legendary 100% Merlot from a single clay-soil hillside — one of Italy's most valuable wines.
In character, this premium tier delivers the classic merlot profile — plum, blackberry, cedar, violet — with the structural stamp of Tuscany and a medium-to-full-bodied presence. This profile reflects published sources, winery information and regional reference material, researched editorially rather than tasted blind.
