The Masseto 2021 di Masseto is a highly esteemed label made from 100% Merlot, a true reference point for wine lovers and connoisseurs. The eponymous vineyard is divided into three parts - Central, Junior, and Alto - in the territory of Bolgheri (LI). Here, the soils are characterized by clay loams and blue clays, at an altitude of about 120 meters above sea level. In the cellar, the grapes, carefully selected, underwent a soft pressing. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 25-28°C, with maceration of the must on the skins for 15-20 days. The blending of the three plots occurred after 12 months of aging in barriques. Subsequently, the wine aged for an additional 12 months in the same containers.
