Massetino 2020 Masseto

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The Masseto 2020 Massetino (Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc) is extremely generous and rich. This wine puts it all out there in full view with a bouquet that is stitched together with ripe blackberry and black cherry preserves, black stone or pencil shaving, sweet spice, cigar, smoke and tar. This was a warm and sunny vintage, and you feel the power of those sunbeams locked within the dark, opulent and concentrated fruit on display here. This is a special treat, and the 2020 edition offers a clear identity for Massetino. This vintage comes close to out-powering the bouquet of the 2019 Masseto also hitting the market now.

James Suckling (95)

Very floral and perfumed with red fruits and hints of sandalwood. Medium body, very fresh and fine yet open grained. Crisp and long. Hard not to drink now. But better in three or four years when it comes together. 97% merlot and 3% cabernet franc.

Jancis Robinson (16)

97% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc.
Deep, plump and seductive. The fruit is dark but not confected, offering a fragrant sweetness. Sumptuous yet with some crunch, it needs a year to settle as the finish lingers with a chalky depth.
