2013 Masseto – A Velvet Sledgehammer of Pure Tuscan Seduction

This wine doesn’t speak—it purrs.

The 2013 Masseto is the kind of wine that enters a room and stops all conversation. Polished, powerful, and absurdly smooth, it’s a full-throttle Merlot wrapped in mocha, spice, and dark fruit. Think: old-world prestige meets modern-day seduction—with a streak of wildness just under the surface.

Crafted from a single, iconic 7-hectare plot of blue clay in Bolgheri, this vintage is all about balance and depth. From the first swirl to the long, chocolate-spiced finish, 2013 Masseto delivers refined hedonism in its purest form.

🍷 TASTING NOTES:

• Color: Deep ruby red with garnet edges—like velvet in motion.

• Nose: Blackberries, mocha, exotic spice, French oak, and a whisper of coconut. Yes, coconut.

• Palate: Silky yet powerful. Black cherry, blackberry, licorice, vanilla. Perfectly integrated tannins and acidity bring it home.

• Finish: Long, layered, and luxurious—dark chocolate, spice, and that signature Masseto elegance.
