Masseto 1999, a 100% Merlot from Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, is a still red wine embodying Tuscan excellence. With its intense ruby color and an aroma of dark fruits, spices, and tobacco, it seduces the senses. On the palate, it is structured, velvety, with refined tannins and a persistent finish. Aged in barriques and ideal with red meats and aged cheeses, it is a magnificent expression of power and elegance.
