About The Wine
Opening a bottle of 2021 Masseto is like uncorking the soul of Tuscany. This is a rare blend of raw power and polished sophistication.
2021 brought a perfect balance to the Tuscan coast. A rainy winter gave way to a warm, dry summer, with the grapes thriving in these ideal conditions. The result? Exceptionally concentrated fruit with unparalleled depth and structure. Masseto’s vineyard—perched on the rugged Bolgheri hills and kissed by the Mediterranean breeze—delivered grapes that captured the essence of the land’s raw beauty and energy.
The vineyard’s unique blue clay soil, formed over millions of years, is the secret behind Masseto’s power. These rock-hard ‘massi’ clusters lock in the vineyard’s history, creating a wine that’s steeped in both geology and genius. Masseto isn’t just wine—it’s earth in a glass.
At Masseto, less is more. The winemaking philosophy here is about letting the land take the lead. The vines battle the elements, and the winemaking team steps in only when absolutely necessary. No fancy tricks, no overcomplication—just pure, powerful grapes expressing their full potential. This is a wine made with respect for its environment and a dedication to simplicity.
“Everything revolves around an extraordinary, fragile vineyard, and a wine crafted with the utmost care. We have tanks. We have barrels. We have gravity flow. And we have people who live for this wine. That’s our philosophy.” ~ Lamberto Frescobaldi, Marchesi Frescobaldi President
For over 700 years, the Frescobaldi family has been shaping Tuscany’s winemaking history. Masseto is their crowning glory—a testament to tradition, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Aging: 24 Months in 100% New French barrels.
