Masseto
The Blue Clay Merlot
"A place, a wine. The definitive and singular expression of a unique terroir in the world, where Pliocene geology dictates excellence."
The Sacred Terroir of Bolgheri
Born from an unassuming hill on the Tuscan coast, Masseto defies all Italian wine conventions. Its identity is forged by blue clay, a Pliocene mineral sediment whose geological composition is detailed on the official Masseto website as the determining factor for 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 a polyphenolic ripeness that rivals the best *Crus* of Pomerol.
