Lodovico Antinori's renowned contribution to the early Super-Tuscan movement wasn't modeled on its predecessors, Sassicaia or Tignanello. Rather, the brother of Piero Antinori (creator of Tignanello) and cousin of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta went outside Italy to draw upon luminaries such as Andre Tchelistcheff, one of the fathers of California Cabernet, as well as Bordeaux's leading enologist, Michel Rolland. This collaboration resulted in a classic Bordeaux-style blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with Petit Verdot being added in the '03 vintage) that has become one of the most formidable monuments of the Super-Tuscan class.

Over the last several years, Toscana has emerged as a bastion of high-calibre Merlot. Foremost among these names is Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s monovarietal Merlot. Despite having debuted only in the 1986 vintage, Masseto is working on establishing the epic mystique of the storied Château Pétrus. The simple fact is that Masseto’s past—however recent—provides just as compelling a testament to the wine's splendor as the genesis of Pétrus.

Masseto is Lodovico Antinori's crowning achievement. In fact, Masseto has the distinction of being Toscana's most widely sought wine. With Andre Tchelistcheff's guidance and persistence, Lodovico established a plot dedicated to the noble Merlot. The unique spot contains a blend of three clays in the soil and has its own distinct microclimate which is akin to that of Pomerol.

The 1998 Masseto is opulent and expansive, and offers ripe dark fruit along with secondary notes of tobacco, and could benefit from further cellaring, with anticipated maturity expected from 2008-2018.
