Perhaps the world’s most sought-after Merlot – Masseto Toscana 2019 stands in a league of its own. A wine that unites depth, precision, and rare beauty – an icon of modern Italian winemaking.

Masseto comes from a legendary single vineyard in Bolgheri, where blue clay and a unique coastal microclimate shape the wine’s unmistakable character. Here, Lodovico Antinori and the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia estate have created a masterpiece that, since its first vintage in 1987, has set the standard for contemporary Tuscan elegance.

The 2019 vintage marks a new chapter. A small addition of Cabernet Franc brings aromatic complexity and freshness to the classic Merlot expression, resulting in a wine of profound concentration and effortless grace. Harvested entirely by hand, the grapes are meticulously sorted, fermented in small temperature-controlled vats, and matured for 24–30 months in French oak barrels to achieve perfect balance and depth.

In the glass, Masseto 2019 reveals a deep ruby colour and an intense bouquet of dark berries, plum, violet, and graphite. The palate is dense yet refined, unfolding layers of fruit, tobacco, cocoa, and a touch of spice and stone. A wine that captures the essence of fine craftsmanship – powerful, precise, and endlessly persistent.

Produced in extremely limited quantities and coveted by collectors worldwide, Masseto 2019 is more than a wine – it is a symbol of uncompromising perfection from the heart of Tuscany.
