The 2021 Massetino Toscana Rosso is one of the most important “second wines” in modern Italian fine wine, coming from the same estate behind the legendary Masseto. Produced by Tenuta dell’Ornellaia (Masseto project), Massetino is essentially the estate’s more approachable—but still ultra-premium—expression of Bolgheri Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc adding structure and aromatic lift. This is not a second wine in the traditional sense. It is a separate grand vin-level bottling philosophy: strict selection, tiny production, and meticulous vineyard farming from the same clay-rich blue soils that made Masseto famous. The 2021 vintage especially is considered a major success for Tuscany’s coastal zone, with ideal conditions that combined warm ripeness with freshness and slow phenolic development.
