Makuprofiili
In the glass, Masseto 2004 shows a deep ruby core with early garnet highlights, hinting at its maturity and evolution in bottle. The nose is beautifully layered, offering dark cherry, ripe plum, and toasted spice, followed by violet, Mediterranean herbs, graphite, moka, and subtle cedar nuances. On the palate, the wine is rich yet impeccably composed. The texture is silky and luxurious, but carried by lively acidity that brings freshness and definition. Tannins are refined, polished, and fully integrated, supporting a concentrated core of dark fruit and mineral depth. The finish is long, graceful, and persistent, and while it is already in an excellent drinking window, it still has the structure and vitality to continue aging beautifully for years to come.

Viininvalmistus
Masseto is sourced from a highly regarded Tuscan terroir known for its clay-rich soils, which are especially suited to Merlot and help give the wine its signature depth and structure. In 2004, the growing season was marked by steady conditions, with no severe heat spikes or drought stress, allowing for slow, even ripening. The grapes were harvested with great precision at optimal maturity, then vinified in small lots with spontaneous fermentation and careful extraction before spending 24 months in new barriques and additional time in bottle.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a wine best served with equally refined dishes such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, braised short ribs, game birds, or truffle-infused pasta. It also pairs wonderfully with aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for around 1–2 hours to let the wine fully раскры its aromatic complexity and silky structure.
