DESCRIPTION
Masseto's production is a game of balance: one feels like a tightrope walker always on the edge of a precipice. The production of wine in Masseto is both an adventure and a continuous discovery. A place where intuition prevailed, where no one could be sure of the success of the fragile Merlot, even if the presence of blue Pliocene clays suggested the possibility of success. In fact, clayey soils present some contradictions: A capacity to store large quantities of water and to release it very gradually. Soil that is cold and wet in rainy years but becomes rock hard in hot summers, creating a physical barrier for roots as they struggle to descend deep underground. A soil in which, with a low planting density, a level of vigor is reached that would normally be expected from a high density vineyard. The Masseto vines seem to constantly struggle with the elements, often on the verge of collapse but somehow always able to resist and produce fruits with incredible concentration and flavor. A rare combination of vigorous ripeness and sumptuous concentration that somehow manages to preserve complexity and freshness. Every single vintage expresses the unmistakable character of Masseto, but with a slightly different interpretation - just as a masterpiece of music sounds differently depending on the artist who plays it.
Location Ornellaia - Bolgheri - Castagnetto Carducci (Li)
The bunches, harvested by hand in 15 kg crates, were selected manually on a double sorting table before and after destemming and then subjected to soft pressing. Fermentation took place in both steel and concrete tanks, with small quantities in barrels. Given the small size of the berries and the high concentration of the fruit, the extraction was carried out in a delicate manner, with few pumping over and temperatures of up to 25 ° C, in order to keep the aromas fresh and vibrant. Maceration times were short, with a total stay in the tank not exceeding 21 days. The malolactic fermentation began in 100% new oak barriques, keeping the individual batches separate for the first 12 months of maturation.
Subsequently, the wine was blended and reintroduced into the barriques for another year, for a total of 24 months. The 2017 Masseto continued aging for another 12 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.
2016 represents a textbook vintage for Masseto, with a typically Tuscan coastal climate that saw a dry and sunny growing season, with abundant sunshine and the right amount of rain for perfect ripening. 2016 shows a particularly intense and young color, on the nose the intense aroma of ripe dark fruit blends with subtle notes of cocoa and spices. On the palate, the rich and dense structure of ripe and silky tannins is balanced by a sensual and vibrant fruity note and a lively acidity that keeps the long finish clean and full-bodied.

ORNELLAIA ESTATE
Semi-hidden at the foot of the hills near Bolgheri, Ornellaia rises a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. In the summer months, the cool sea breeze caresses the vineyards and nearby olive groves, while in the winter the hills protect from the cold north winds. Ornellaia believes that a wine should be the most authentic expression of the terroir from which it comes and, right here, combined with the maritime climate, the heterogeneous nature of the land and the estate - of marine, alluvial and volcanic origin - creates a distinct environment where the varieties of red and white can express themselves at their best. The infinite vineyard plots fit into this pristine landscape like tiles in a large mosaic, creating a work of extraordinary beauty, complexity and elegance in a truly unique place. Experience, competence and determination have played their part in enhancing Ornellaia's quality and reputation, but it is the estate itself that is a constant source of inspiration, always suggesting new and exclusive ways to capture its great generosity.
