Masseto 2002 Tenute dell'Ornellaia
The Masseto of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is an oenological gem that embodies the winemaking excellence of Tuscany. This extraordinary wine represents the best of the Merlot variety and is produced in the renowned Tenuta dell'Ornellaia.
Masseto is produced in the small coastal area of Bolgheri in western Tuscany, famous for its exceptional production of quality wines. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is located in this region, where the climatic conditions and terroir are ideal for the cultivation of Merlot.
The terroir of Tenuta dell'Ornellaia is extraordinary. The vineyards extend on clay and limestone soils, with a stone component that retains heat during the day and releases it during the night. These unique conditions create an ideal environment for the slow and complete maturation of Merlot grapes, giving the wine extraordinary concentration and complexity.
Tenuta dell'Ornellaia adopts ecological and sustainable cultivation practices to preserve the natural balance of the terroir. The harvest is manual and the grapes are selected with extreme care.
The vinification of Masseto is a meticulous process that involves fermentation in wooden vats and aging in French oak barriques. This long aging gives the wine an extraordinary structure and complexity.
Masseto has an intense and deep red color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of berries, black cherry, spices and tobacco, with a subtle mineral note. In the mouth it is rich and enveloping, with an extraordinary concentration of ripe fruit, silky tannins and a long and persistent finish. This wine is an unforgettable sensory experience.
