Distillery Information

Masseto is a famed single-vineyard, Super Tuscan wine label produced from a site in Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast, planted entirely to Merlot. It is one of the most famous Super Tuscan wines. The wine is known for its aromatic complexity, opulent fruit and tannic structure, and is consistently regarded as one of the top wines in the world with auction prices to match. It is classified as IGT Toscana. Masseto was first released in 1984 to immediate acclaim. Today, production totals around 35,000 bottles a year and a second wine Massetino has been produced since 2017 from barrels that are not selected for the flagship wine. The wine was initially made by Ornellaia but has operated as a distinct estate with its own winemaking facilities since 2006. Both properties were bought by the Frescobaldis the previous year.
