Description
Massetino Toscana IGT 2017 Tenuta Masseto
Massetino Toscana IGT 2017 is the second wine of Masseto, born from a rigorous selection of grapes and designed to express, in very limited quantities, a profile of great precision and personality. The 2017 vintage, warm and dry, led to an early and careful harvest, with a constant search for balance between fruit ripeness, freshness, and aromatic definition. The result is a rich, intense, and refined Tuscan wine, with a modern and authoritative stylistic signature.
Territory and wine style
Produced in Tuscany and classified as IGT, Massetino is born within the universe of Masseto, from selected parcels and a philosophy oriented towards maximum quality. The indicated composition highlights a blend dominated by Merlot, with a presence of Cabernet Franc that contributes to giving lift and tension. The character of the vintage, combined with very careful processing, gives rise to a wine with a concentrated but not opulent profile, capable of combining substance, elegance, and clarity.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a very deep and dark color, consistent with the ripeness of the grape and the concentration of the vintage. The bouquet recalls ripe black fruit, particularly plum and blueberry, alongside finer and spicier nuances linked to aging. On the palate, Massetino Toscana IGT 2017 shows breadth, richness, and a well-structured foundation, supported by significant freshness that extends the sip. The tannic texture is present but integrated, with a persistent and orderly finish, where the fruit remains the protagonist without losing definition.
Recommended pairings
The structure and depth of Massetino Toscana IGT 2017 make it ideal with flavorful and well-constructed dishes.

It is a wine that enhances high-level tables, special dinners, and occasions where an elegant and authoritative red is sought.
Serving temperature
