From a small plot of land on the Tuscan coast, the elusive merlot-based Super Tuscan boasts a lineage of ownership and winemaking legends from Marchese Antinori, to the Mondavi Family, to Michel Rolland and Andre Tchelistcheff. The 2019 vintage marks a new era for Masseto, as this is the first vintage of Masseto produced in their new, state-of-the-art underground winery facility, and the first Masseto to break from its traditional 100% merlot formula. 2019 sees Masseto adding 10% Cabernet Franc to add even more aromatic complexity and to capitalize on the resurgence of Cabernet Franc in the warming climate of Tuscany. Masseto has a profile built on the tension between concentration and finesse, power and elegance. Massive dark red and black fruit mingles with iron, graphite, tobacco, rosemary and cedar. A dense and powerful palate follows, with layers of flavor and texture, supple tannins and a long and persistent finish. A wine of this complexity and power will reward cellaring; Approachable now, but best 2025-2040. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-04-14T16:28:29-05:00","created_at":"2023-04-14T16:28:29-05:00","vendor":"Sunfish Cellars Wine \u0026 Spirits","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","Producer_Masseto","Region_Tuscany","Size_750ml","Varietal_Merlot","Vintage_2019","Wine","Wine List"],"price":84499,"price_min":84499,"price_max":84499,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":89999,"compare_at_price_min":89999,"compare_at_price_max":89999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40748032557099,"title":"Tuscany \/ Merlot \/ 2019","option1":"Tuscany","option2":"Merlot","option3":"2019","sku":"041420231001","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Masseto Toscana IGT 2019 - Tuscany \/ Merlot \/ 2019","public_title":"Tuscany \/ Merlot \/ 2019","options":["Tuscany","Merlot","2019"],"price":84499,"weight":1406,"compare_at_price":89999,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"041420231001","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/MassetoToscanaIGT2019.jpg?v=1682105386"],"featured_image":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/MassetoToscanaIGT2019.jpg?v=1682105386","options":["Region","Varietal","Vintage"],"media":[{"alt":"Masseto Toscana IGT 2019","id":23189718761515,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.687,"height":1310,"width":900,"src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/MassetoToscanaIGT2019.jpg?v=1682105386"},"aspect_ratio":0.687,"height":1310,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/MassetoToscanaIGT2019.jpg?v=1682105386","width":900}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e Masseto Toscana IGT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Tuscany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Masseto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage:\u003c\/b\u003e 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/b\u003e Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMasseto is one of the rarest, hardest-to-find and most collectible wines in the world.
