So much verve and purity, integration and harmony can be found in the Masseto 2021. Black raspberry, mulberry, a hint of toasted brioche. A beautiful natural sweetness, plus a delicacy and subtlety that is simply beautiful and tantalising. Black biros ink and more and more cedar wood with gentle aeration. Creamy. Essences of petals - with a little more lilac, lily and hyacinth than rose. Then graphite again. A wonderful texture on the finish, as soft and caressing as a million layers (milles feuilles plus!) of silk, but actually with a deeper and richer texture - so more cashmere perhaps than silk. Lively, flowing, dynamic and incredibly juicy. Radiant in its incredible dynamism and energy. Very special and above all endless on the finish. Wow! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Poggio alle Gazze is light, lively and elegant. Aromas of lemon zest, sage, chalk, mint and white pepper unfold initially, followed by crisp, mouth-watering acidity that is quite pronounced. This is a particularly austere vintage for the Poggio alle Gazze. I would give it some time in the bottle." Vinous
