About this wine:
This vintage is already legendary, even if it is simply the first in a long series of exceptional vintages. Warm and early, 1997 expresses better than all other years the sun-blest, sensuous side of Masseto. Spacious, dense and ultra-concentrated, displaying soft, silky tannins. The bottling has preserved all of the lusciousness characteristic of this vintage and its magnificent aromatics as well as its deep sensory impressions. Its admirable power is accompanied by a gratifying elegance. Step by step it is advancing towards peak of maturity, but without haste
