Estimate
The prestigious seven-hectare Masseto merlot vineyard proffers a monumental, fruit-laden wine. Its mature, sumptuous nose heralds infinitely rich, enthralling raw material for another historic wine that ageing will only improve.
A wine of breathtaking depth, it also reveals superb clarity, freshness and vibrancy in a sumptuous, beautifully-balanced style. Simply put, the 2006 Masseto is a masterpiece from Tenuta dell’ Ornellaia.
This has a special savory character that is fascinating. It shows beautiful aromas of dried fruits, black olives, and brown sugar. Full-bodied with a phenomenal amount of fruit and freshness at the same time. Salty, juicy and fruity.
Full-bodied, with very well-integrated tannins that build and coat your palate. Long and silky-textured on the finish. Shows great class and finesse.
