DESCRIPTION
The "second vin" comes from the selection made for Masseto, the older brother with whom it shares the identity. First vintage: 2017. Market release: October 2019. Extremely limited production. In 2017 the wines obtained from some Merlot and Cabernet Franc parcels, recently replanted and now bounded by a majestic dry stone wall, were taken into consideration for Masseto. Some plots, however, had not yet developed enough character to be included in the Masseto, but showed potential and personality to create, together with other components not used in the master-blend, a second vin: the Massetino. Massetino's strong personality is not surprising as he shares the same DNA as Masseto. Just like his big brother, he juxtaposes power and opulence with discretion and classicism.
After the first 12 months of aging, the wine was blended and reintroduced in barrique for another 3 months, before bottling. The wine then remained in the bottle until it was released on the market in October 2020.
Massetino shows a dark ruby color with violet reflections. The nose is very expressive, dominated by lively and ripe cherry fruits, with spicy and balsamic nuances and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate it is elegant, with a compact and silky texture and refined tannins that support a brilliant and pure expression of fruit. The finish shows notes of vanilla followed by a sensation of mineral freshness.

“Masseto is a unique and magical place, surrounded by extensive woods and kissed by the sea breeze on hot summer days. It is a land blessed with the presence of blue clay which gives Masseto an unmistakable character ”.
Marquis Ferdinando Frescobaldi, President
On the side of a hill near Bolgheri, a small village on the Tuscan coast overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, stands a magical vineyard. Here a wine born almost by chance is produced. Unused for a long time, the potential of this slope was only sensed in the XNUMXs, when, despite all predictions, advice and local tradition, the first vines were planted. In the following decades, the vineyard has revealed many of its secrets, but just as many remain to be discovered. Read more
