Masseto
The Merlot of Blue Clay
"A place, a wine. The ultimate, solitary expression of a terroir unique in the world, where Pliocene geology dictates excellence."
The Sacred Terroir of Bolgheri
Born from a discreet hill on the Tuscan coast, Masseto defies all Italian wine conventions. Its identity is forged by the blue clay, a Pliocene mineral sediment whose geological composition is detailed on the official Masseto website as the determining factor of its power and elegance.
This vineyard, barely seven hectares, is located within the prestigious Bolgheri DOC appellation, where the Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea allow Merlot to achieve polyphenolic maturity that rivals the best Crus of Pomerol.
