WINEMAKER NOTES
2009 Masseto Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy
The 2009 growing season saw a winter and early spring that were cool and rainy, and budbreak occurred in line with past years. May was dry, but the rains returned in June, without however negatively impactingvine growth or flowering. Summer was practically rainless, and hot, with temperatures often rising above 35°C and with little difference between day and night temperatures. Strong scirocco winds from Africa between late August and early September hastened the ripening process, and this vintage harvest was one of the earliest and most rapid in Masseto’s history. Harvest started on 2nd September and was completed on 10th September yielding a total of five different lots.
TASTING NOTES: Masseto 2009 is the expression of a particularly warm vintage that showcased all the noble qualities of a great terroir. Working in harmony with the clay soil of the Masseto vineyard, we succeeded in achieving the balance, crispness, and aromatic complexity that are classic to all great wines. An impressively dark hue, Masseto 2009 mirrors its vintage, exhibiting intense impressions of ripe cherry, chocolate, spice, and coffee. Profound and full-bodied in the mouth, it boasts explosive fruit, and tannins which are glossy and firm. Its vein of crisp acidity fuels a long finish marked by a vivacious crispness.
