Masseto--Vintage 1999
Tuscany. Estate-bottled: Antinori
All lots are offered in original wooden cases
Tasting Note: Conveying an impression of youth, the 1999 reveals layers of dark fruit that open in the glass with much persistence on the palate and terrific overall balance. This wine, on the other hand, has proven to be a wine of greater singularity. Its unique, unmistakable personality always comes through, especially in a set of widely diverse vintages, as this vertical attests. Set on a gently sloping hill, the vineyard is divided into three sections which contain different clay-based soil types. Fermentation and maceration typically last around 25 days, give or take, depending on the quality of the fruit, after which the wines are moved into 100 new French oak barrels for the malolactic fermentations. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #144 (Dec 2002)
