Vinificare
Fiecare parcela este vinificata separat, procesul de macerare pe bostina se incheie dupa 10-15 zile, iar fermentatia alcoolica duce perioada totala petrecuta in tancurile de inox la 20-25 de zile la o temperatura de 25-28°C. Fermentatie malolactica se produce in butoaie noi de stejar frantuzesc, iar procesul de maturare este de 24 de luni in "barriques": 12 inainte de asamblaj si alte 12 dupa asamblaj. Invechit pentru 12 luni in sticla.
"The 2008 Masseto is another huge wine. It boasts tons of energy in a tense, inward style I can only describe as implosive, as if the wine is holding back all of its energy. A deep core of black fruit, grilled herbs, licorice and new leather emerges from time to time, but the tannins are still imposing. There is no shortage of pedigree. I fully expect the 2008 to develop into one of the great Massetos. Needless to say, it will be interesting to taste the 2008 in vertical tastings in the future. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2033."97 Points The Wine Advocate
"A dark, extracted red, offering plenty of juicy plum, blackberry and violet notes framed by vanilla and toast. Squarely in the modern camp, yet this works. The tannins are slightly gritty now, but should mesh with time. Merlot. Best from 2014 through 2024. 400 cases imported." 93 Points Wine Spectator
