Masseto 2006

Description

Over the last several years, Toscana has emerged as a bastion of high-calibre Merlot. Foremost among these names is Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s monovarietal Merlot. Despite having debuted only in the 1986 vintage, Masseto is working on establishing the epic mystique of the storied Château Pétrus. The simple fact is that Masseto’s past—however recent—provides just as compelling a testament to the wine’s splendor as the genesis of Pétrus.
