93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

Vivid ruby red colour, opening up to show ripe and seductive layers of damson and black cherry, along with grilled spices and coffee, espresso, cocoa bean. Clear complexity and generosity, sleek, impressive. Winemaker Gaia Cinnirella since the 2021 harvest. Natural yeast fermentation, 50% new oak.

94/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

The 2021 Massetino, 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. After a swirl or two, it explodes from the glass with bombastic notes of stewed black plums, boysenberries, and blackberry pie, followed by hints of Indian spices, licorice, and fragrant soil. The big, concentrated, full-bodied palate is jam packed with black fruit preserves, framed by velvety tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and spicy.

94/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2021 Massetino is a supremely elegant and gracious wine. Silky tannins caress a core of blackberry, espresso, mocha, licorice, cloves and lavender. All the elements are so nicely balanced in this super-appealing, racy second wine from Masseto,

96/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Masseto 2021 Massetino is mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc for good measure. The wine (packaged in a heavy glass bottle) is very richly concentrated and layered. You see (and taste) the opulent texture of the wine as it slowly coats the glass. Quality fruit is matched by carefully selected oak, and the intensity of both builds on the palate. This vintage is poised for especially long cellar aging. This vintage of Massetino (2021) scores neck-in-neck with the current vintage (2020) of Masseto.
