Notes de la critique
- Robert Parker / Wine Advocate 100
Masseto has pulled off back-to-back home runs. This is the first time that an Italian wine has earned 100 points in successive vintages. The 2016 Masseto is a thunderstorm of emotions, but it manages to keep them under perfect control. Like the 2015 Masseto before it, this vintage is a seamless wine of the highest pedigree. It represents an encore performance, continuing the string of successes that is bringing Italy to the forefront of the wine world. The first thing you'll notice is the thickness and concentration of the fruit that makes an immediate impact on all the senses, in terms of appearance, aroma and mouthfeel. There is no overstating the sheer power and richness of this iconic vintage of Italy's groundbreaking Merlot. Despite that considerable mass, this Masseto remains delicate and graceful. You gain better perspective as the wine opens in the glass and reveals deeper layers that were not immediately apparent on first nose: dark fruit, spice, sweet tobacco and black cherry. There is great tightness and laser focus to the fruit. I tasted the 2016 and 2015 vintages together for comparison when I scored this wine, and then I tasted this 2016 edition alone about a month later to confirm my impressions. These vintages are identical twins, two perfect wines.

A flashy style, featuring concentrated yet fluid flavors of blackberry, plum, violet, cedar and iron, wrapped in toasty, vanilla-scented oak. The acidity is vibrant and refined, but dense tannins provide support as this cruises to a long finish. Best from 2022 through 2045. 330 cases imported. — BS

This is so solid and powerful with incredible vertical dense that goes down and down on the palate. Compacted and thick with caressing and polished tannins that are powerful yet refined. Super concentration yet agile and energetic. This is a wine that needs time to come together and resolve all of its amazing components. Reminds me of the legendary 2001. Try after 2023.

Le producteur : Masseto
Indiscutablement, Masseto est reconnu comme l’un des vins italiens les plus emblématiques. Cette micro parcelle unique de 7 hectares, sur un terroir riche en argile du Pliocène, bénéficie d’un climat méditerranéen clément et de douces brises maritimes : c’est ici que naît Masseto. Le vignoble, positionné sur un coteau en pente douce, se scinde en trois secteurs, dont la teneur en argiles varie d’un terroir à l’autre. Ce sont ces variantes en matière de sols, de climat, de topographie et de traditions qui constituent le terroir magnifique de Masseto. Celui-ci fait ensuite l’objet de soins attentifs de la part d’une équipe passionnée et dévouée qui aborde chaque étape de la récolte et de la vinification avec minutie. Fruits d’une quête d’excellence, ces différentes composantes s’unissent pour créer un vin hors pair, doté d’une complexité impressionnante et d’une élégance sublime.
