The Masseto hill is a special place... both a revelation and a mystery, as it majestically lifts its head to look out across the Mediterranean Sea. This is where terroir victoriously transcends the grape varieties and where the blue clays of the Pliocene Era tell their ancient story.
Millions of years ago, a deep marine substrate was deposited, gradually transforming into blue clay that, after thousands of years of erosion, reached the surface on this hill. The shells and fossils found embedded in the clays are a testimony to this.
Grape Variety: 100% Merlot
Appearance: Particularly intense and youthful in color.
Nose: Ripe and intense dark fruits blend with subtle layers of cocoa, warm spices, and savory development notes like potting soil, tobacco, and fresh-fallen leaves. [
Palate: A rich, dense, and tightly compact frame ("clinging closely like lycra") backed by caressing, polished tannins, luscious vibrant fruit, and a bright, vivid acidity that keeps the long finish clean and energetic.
