2022 Massetino Toscana IGT 6 bottles case

The 2022 Massetino is the younger sibling of the legendary Masseto, offering an elegant and approachable expression of the estate’s singular terroir on the Tuscan coast. First released in 2019, Massetino quickly established itself as one of Italy’s most sought-after second wines, embodying the same dedication to detail and precision that has made Masseto an icon. The vineyard’s clay-rich soils, moderated by maritime breezes, lend both structure and freshness to this modern classic.

The 2022 vintage is crafted from Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, vinified parcel by parcel and aged in French oak barrels, part new and part seasoned, to preserve both vibrancy and depth. A warm, balanced growing season yielded perfectly ripe fruit, resulting in a wine that combines Tuscan generosity with polished refinement.

In the glass, it shows a deep ruby hue and a fragrant bouquet of ripe plum, black cherry, and blackberry, lifted by floral notes of violet and iris. Secondary and tertiary nuances unfold with cedar, cocoa, tobacco leaf, graphite, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with supple tannins, juicy fruit at the core, and a lingering finish marked by freshness and elegance.

Celebrated by critics as one of the finest Massetino vintages to date, the 2022 offers both immediate pleasure and the capacity for graceful ageing over the next 10–15 years. It is a wine that reflects the soul of Masseto in a more youthful and accessible form—perfect for collectors seeking refinement and rarity with a contemporary spirit.
