100 poena - James Suckling; Jeb Dunnuck; The Wine Advocate

Tenuta Masseto je jedno od najikoničnijih vina Italije, proizvedeno sa jedinstvenog vinograda plavih glinovitih zemljišta iznad toskanske obale u blizini Bolgherija. Prvobitno prepoznat kao izuzetan položaj unutar imanja Ornellaia, Masseto je stekao kultni status zahvaljujući sposobnosti da izrazi Merlot sa snagom i izuzetnom preciznošću. Berba 2016 ima poseban značaj jer je označila prvi put da je jedno italijansko vino dobilo maksimalnih 100 poena u uzastopnim berbama, dodatno učvršćujući status Masseta među najvećim vinima svijeta.

Berba 2016, iz gotovo savršene vegetacije, proizvedena je od 100% Merlota i predstavlja klasičniji i strukturiraniji stil u odnosu na toplije godine—definisan balansom, napetošću i izuzetnim potencijalom za odležavanje.

U čaši se pokazuje duboka, intenzivna rubin crvena boja. Na nosu je kompleksno i profinjeno, sa aromama crne trešnje, šljive i kupine, uz slojeve ljubičice, grafita, kakaa, slatkih začina i blagih zemljanih tonova. Na nepcu je punog tijela i snažno, ali precizno, sa čvrstim, finim taninima i živom kisjelinom; voće je gusto, ali savršeno kontrolisano, a završnica duga i strukturirana, sa izraženom mineralnošću, elegancijom i izuzetnom postojanošću.

100 points - James Suckling; Jeb Dunnuck; The Wine Advocate

Tenuta Masseto is one of Italy’s most iconic wines, produced from a single vineyard of blue clay soils overlooking the Tuscan coast near Bolgheri. Originally identified as a unique site within the Ornellaia estate, Masseto has achieved cult status for its ability to express Merlot with both power and extraordinary precision. The 2016 vintage holds particular significance, marking the first time an Italian wine received 100-point scores in successive vintages, further cementing Masseto’s place among the world’s greatest wines.

The 2016 vintage, from a near-perfect growing season, is 100% Merlot and represents a more classical, structured expression compared to warmer years—defined by balance, tension, and remarkable ageing potential.

In the glass, it shows a deep, intense ruby colour. The nose is complex and refined, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of violet, graphite, cocoa, sweet spice, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful yet precise, with firm, finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity; the fruit is dense but perfectly controlled, leading to a long, structured finish marked by mineral depth, elegance, and exceptional persistence.
