This bottle opens a new chapter for one of Italy's most celebrated and collected wines. The first vintage made entirely in its dedicated state-of-the-art winery (and the first vintage with a 10% dabble of Cabernet Franc added to what has historically been aways been a pure expression of Merlot), the Masseto 2019 Masseto has two main themes at heart: concentration and elegance. And managing those two seemingly contrasting elements requires a little bit of magic. That's the Masseto magic we look for. The 2019 vintage delivers it in spades with lovely concentrated fruit, blackberry, integrated spice, tobacco, crushed slate, pencil shaving and lots of texture and fiber to push a lasting mouthfeel. The wine's richness translates into density and power to the palate, while the bouquet reveals fluidity and new sides as the wine opens in the glass. The finish is tapered and focused.

Merlot

Merlot er en af verdens mest populære rødvinsdruer og den næstmest plantede røde sort globalt — kun overgået af Cabernet Sauvignon. Druen stammer fra Bordeaux, hvor den især dominerer på Right Bank i appellationer som Pomerol og Saint‑Émilion, hvor dens bløde struktur og rige frugt gør den til en naturlig modpol til Cabernet Sauvignon.

Merlot kendes for sin runde, saftige frugtprofil, med noter af blomme, sorte kirsebær, brombær og undertiden chokolade eller vanilje, afhængigt af klima og fadlagring. I køligere klimaer viser Merlot friskere røde frugter og lettere urtepræg, mens varmere områder som Napa Valley giver mere fyldige vine med blødere tanniner og mørkere frugt.

Druen er elsket for sin velvet‑agtige, bløde mundfølelse, moderate syre og tilgængelige stil, hvilket gør den ideel både alene og i blends — især sammen med Cabernet Sauvignon, hvor den tilføjer rundhed og balance.

Merlot er samtidig kernen i nogle af verdens mest eftertragtede vine, herunder legendariske Pomerol-vine som Château Pétrus.
