The Prestige of Bolgheri: Introducing Tenuta dell’Ornellaia Massetino Red

The TENUTA DELL ORNELLAIA MASSETINO RED stands as the sophisticated second label of the iconic Masseto. Hailing from the sun-drenched coastal region of Bolgheri, Tuscany, this Super Tuscan IGT is crafted primarily from Merlot, utilising the estate’s unique blue clay soils to achieve a wine of profound structure and finesse. It’s an accessible entry point to the Masseto lineage without compromising on luxury or aging potential.

Sommelier’s Assessment

• Appearance: A striking, deep garnet hue.
• Aromatics: A heady bouquet of black cherry, cassis, cedar, and espresso, underpinned by subtle notes of garrigue and fine French oak spice.
• Taste: The palate is luxurious and concentrated, showcasing a beautiful interplay between ripe fruit and polished, firm tannins. Its refreshing acidity ensures a focused, persistent length, making it both hedonistic now and rewarding after cellar time.

A true connoisseur’s choice, Massetino offers complexity and immediate pleasure, embodying the meticulous winemaking standards of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia.

Food Pairing Excellence

For the ultimate experience, pair with classic, rich British fare or premium cuts of meat. Decanting is highly recommended.
