Masseto 2019, a 100% Merlot IGT from Tuscany, boasts an intense ruby color. The nose offers a triumph of black fruits, sweet spices, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it's powerful yet silky, with evolved tannins and a persistent taste of blackberry and licorice. Aged 24 months in barriques, it's perfect with red meats and aged cheeses, served at 16-18℃.
