TASTINGNOTES

To begin with, the nose opens with aromas of red and black berries, plum, and subtle floral tones. Additionally, hints of spice, cocoa and graphite add complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Therefore, the finish is long, fresh and well balanced.

CELLARING & EXPERIENCE

Furthermore, Masseto Vintage 2014 is well suited for medium to long-term cellaring. While it can be enjoyed now after decanting, it will continue to gain nuance over time. Because of its elegance and balance, it pairs beautifully with refined meat dishes and sophisticated cuisine. As a result, this vintage offers both immediate enjoyment and dependable long-term value.
