Drought and heat characterised 2012 in Tuscany, with reduced yields and concentrated ripening. On Masseto's blue clays, the soils' water reserves allowed the Merlot to face the summer without excessive stress, producing a rich, compact wine. Masseto 2012 offers notes of black cherry, plum, cocoa, graphite and herbs, with a dense, juicy palate, firm yet polished tannins and a long, spicy close. Robert Parker awarded it 95 points. The wine is now in a pleasantly open phase, showing the first signs of evolution, and can be cellared confidently for many more years while it develops further.
The producer · Tenuta dell'Ornellaia
Founded in 1981 by Lodovico Antinori in Bolgheri, on the Livorno coast, Tenuta dell'Ornellaia became within a few decades one of the international symbols of Italian wine. The first vintage of Ornellaia was 1985; since 2005 the estate has been wholly owned by the Frescobaldi family, who have consolidated its style and global reputation. The vineyards spread across the hills and plain of Bolgheri, on a patchwork of alluvial, sandy and clay soils tempered by Tyrrhenian breezes and day-night temperature swings. Ornellaia is a blend of Bordeaux varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, marrying Mediterranean generosity with classic structure. Alongside it, Masseto, a pure Merlot from the hill of the same name with its Pliocene blue clays, is now run as a separate entity and complemented by Massetino, introduced with the 2017 vintage. Since 2009 the Vendemmia d'Artista project has paired each vintage with a contemporary artwork.
