The Masseto 2020 Massetino (Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc) is extremely generous and rich. This wine puts it all out there in full view with a bouquet that is stitched together with ripe blackberry and black cherry preserves, black stone or pencil shaving, sweet spice, cigar, smoke and tar. This was a warm and sunny vintage, and you feel the power of those sunbeams locked within the dark, opulent and concentrated fruit on display here. This is a special treat, and the 2020 edition offers a clear identity for Massetino. This vintage comes close to out-powering the bouquet of the 2019 Masseto also hitting the market now.
This red is saturated with blackberry, blueberry and plum fruit aligned to a smooth texture. Moderately dense, with tannins emerging as this winds down on the long finish. A hint of bitter chocolate lingers. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2032. 150 cases imported.
