WINEMAKER NOTES
2013 Masseto – Tuscany’s Iconic Merlot
The 2013 Masseto is a benchmark vintage from Italy’s most celebrated Merlot, produced on the Bolgheri coast. Often described as the “Pétrus of Tuscany,” Masseto demonstrates the perfect balance of ripeness, depth, and elegance that has cemented its place among the world’s greatest wines. This vintage reflects the estate’s meticulous craftsmanship and unique terroir, reinforcing Masseto’s status as one of the most collectible Super Tuscan wines.
Tasting Notes
The 2013 opens with intense aromas of dark plum, black cherry, and violets, enriched by layers of graphite, espresso, and subtle truffle. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet graceful, with velvety tannins, polished acidity, and a long finish driven by mineral and spice notes. The complexity and harmony of this vintage make it one of the most profound expressions of Masseto in the past decade.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Masseto is crafted exclusively from **Merlot** planted on the estate’s iconic blue clay soils, which lend structure, depth, and minerality to the wine. Fermented in small oak vats and aged for **24 months in 100% new French oak barrels**, followed by an additional year in bottle, the 2013 is a precise reflection of Bolgheri’s coastal terroir and the estate’s uncompromising standards.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2013 Masseto is one of the most highly regarded vintages of the modern era, with consistent praise from critics and strong secondary market performance. With its rarity, reputation, and longevity, this wine remains a cornerstone for collectors of fine Italian wines. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The 2013 vintage in Tuscany was cooler and later than average, producing wines with vibrant freshness, precision, and remarkable aromatic intensity. Masseto excelled under these conditions, creating a wine that combines concentration with balance and long-term aging potential.
