"This wine is refined and fresh, with notes of sandalwood complementing the magnificent blue fruits. It is medium-bodied, with creamy, polished tannins framing the blue fruits and crushed stone notes. Succulent and juicy with a crisp personality. You'll want to take a sip right away. Masseto's second wine is of the highest quality. Very easy to drink and wonderful.

About wine:
Massetino is considered Masseto's second wine, but I am beginning to conclude that it is much more than that. It accounts for about a third of Masseto's production, and judging by the quality of this 2022, next year's release of the grand vin could be absolutely phenomenal. Massetino has always incorporated some Cabernet Franc since its first vintage in 2017 —10% in 2022. A cool, dry spring led to slightly late budbreak, followed by 75 days of drought and high temperatures. Summer storms eventually restored balance, and the cool September evenings were perfect for the grapes to reach full maturity. Each plot was vinified separately and spontaneously in concrete vats before undergoing malolactic fermentation in barrels, 50% of which were new. After 12 months, the final blend was made and the wine spent an additional three months in concrete vats before being bottled. Bright and stony, this wine is full of energy. Zesty and sapid, it combines fresh Mediterranean herbs and ripe fruit, with more verticality than the 2021 Masseto and just as much concentration. Incredible precision and beautiful freshness, especially considering the vintage. 2025-2042
