2022 Massetino

品飲筆記：酒體深沉卻不沈重，先以藍色漿果與深色果香打開，接著浮現礦質感和微妙的檀香、橡木香。入口飽滿，果實濃郁但不膩，單寧圓潤而有抑制力，酸度明亮帶來口腔的彈性，尾韻悠長且帶些鹹礦感。
酒莊筆記：這支「第二酒款」源自莊園對於地塊的嚴格選擇與重植後的再評估：那些展現個性與潛力的園塊被挑選出來，匯集成一款延伸主力酒風格但更具即飲性的作品。
釀造方式：全園手工採收入小籃，去梗後輕輕破皮，以重力導入水泥槽發酵，採用自然野生酵母（發酵溫度約25–28°C），期間每天2–3次上槽並視需要做倒槽，罐中浸皮21–25天完成發酵，乳酸發酵在木桶中進行（50%新桶）。首年在桶中熟成12個月後調配，再回桶陳放約3個月才裝瓶。
葡萄園與土壤：園區面向西，土壤黏性豐富；沿著玻利新世藍色黏土帶種植，土壤的礦物層賦予酒款特殊的深度與質地。整體生產以嚴謹選果與低干預釀造為宗旨，呈現產地鮮明個性與口感層次。
飲用建議：喜歡結構分明又帶即飲快感的酒友可醒一小時，若收藏則可在未來5–15年內持續發展口感。

Tasting Note: Deep, focused and immediately engaging—blue-fruited aromas lead, with ripe dark berries layered over crushed stone minerality and hints of sandalwood and subtle oak spice. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and richly textured: creamy, polished tannins frame succulent, juicy acidity and a concentrated core of fruit. A long, savory finish with an elegant mineral lift completes the picture.
Producer Notes: Massetino was conceived from strict selection of promising parcels within the estate. Parcels replanted and delimited by a dry-stone wall were re-evaluated and those showing personality and balance were assembled to create this second-label wine—an expression of the site’s potential and the estate’s relentless quality standards.
Winemaking: Hand-harvested in 15 kg crates, grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed, then vinified by gravity in concrete tanks. Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts at 25–28°C with regular pump-overs and délestage where needed; maceration lasts 21–25 days. Malolactic fermentation completes in barrels (50% new oak). After 12 months the lots are blended and returned to barrels for a further three months before bottling.
Vineyard: Planted on west-facing, clay-rich hillsides along a vein of Pliocene blue clay, the vineyard benefits from a distinct mineral soil profile and moderated exposure. Long-term study of the site revealed a unique terroir that gives the wines their concentration, depth and textural identity.
Why buy: A serious second wine from a renowned estate—approachable now with a short decant but built for medium-term aging; powerful and refined in equal measure.
