2015 Masseto dell Ornellaia
Couldn't load pickup availability
Falstaff 100, shiny, rich ruby with a violet shimmer. Very appealing, almost full nose, rich of ripe blackberries, some blueberries, plus nuances of dark chocolate, fine cedar wood. Gripping and full-bodied on the palate, lots of rich, dense tannins, unfolds in fine layers, lots of ripe berry fruit, plus fine spicy components, salty and with great tension, a dream wine!

The release of this wine comes at a very happy time for the Masseto brand. The stunning 2015 Masseto is hitting the market just as the final touches are being made to the new Masseto winery. I'm told that Masseto might one day see other wines made under that same roof, so we can't exclude a future enlargement of the Masseto portfolio. The Masseto vineyard now covers seven hectares (divided into three plots), and the vines range from 30 to 40 years old. The wine is absolutely teeming with sensorial spirit that is transmitted through the bounty of the bouquet and the solid tannins of the mouthfeel. Nothing about the wine goes unnoticed or unchecked. Its many working pieces fit together with precision like a well-oiled machine. The 2015 vintage is characterized by a level of sheer exuberance that also defines the 2004 and 2007 vintages. Yet, it also reveals similar power, directness and linearity that we saw in the 2010 vintage. The 2015 Masseto takes the best of all those past vintages and confines those qualities to this single, spectacular bottle.
