Masseto, The King of Merlot
Filed under: Wine
What makes a wine worth $460 a bottle? It helps to be among the top Merlot in the world and to be one of the much vaunted Super Tuscans. The 2007 vintage of Masseto, Italy's gold standard of Merlot from Ornellaia, will be released in a few months. The grapes for this wine are grown on just more than 16 acres of vineyards in the coastal area of Bolgheri. Masseto was born almost by chance in 1986 when it was decided to vinify the Merlot from the Masseto vineyard. This small cru quickly became a collector's item sold in auctions all over the world. Masseto has received numerous accolades including a perfect 100 points from Wine Spectator's for its 2001 vintage. Suggested retail upon release is $460 but prices could go up from there depending on how quickly this one is snapped up older well-regarded vintages (especially the 2001) often sell for more. The new vintage will be available across the country at select retailers/restaurants, and is distributed by Folio Fine Wine Partners 707-256-2700.
