Masseto vertical: Eight vintages of Italy's greatest Merlot
Article Abstract:
A 100-point score is given to the 2001 Italian Masseto, and the reasons why this Tuscan wine grown in the coastal area of Bolgheri has generated great interest in the past few years are outlined. The eight vintages from different years reflect the different seasons in which they were nurtured, while the hard work and a better knowledge of vineyards also contribute to the greatness of the Massetos.
