Tasting notes

In the glass, Massetino 2019 presents itself with a very dark and concentrated color, a prelude to a broad and mature nose.

On the palate, it is broad, rich, and enveloping, but supported by remarkable freshness and a firm structure, which extends its development and balances the softer component. The finish is persistent and dynamic, with a profile that favors balance, density, and precision.

Recommended pairings

Serving temperature

Serve Massetino 2019 at a temperature between 16 and 18°C. If possible, it is helpful to open it a little in advance to encourage the evolution of the aromas and soften the initial impact, especially if consumed in its youth. A wide glass helps to enhance its aromatic complexity and tasting depth.
