Massetino is a much more recent addition, introduced late last decade as a companion to the flagship rather than a simple declassification, and made with the same fruit sources, the same parcel by parcel vinification and the same care in the cellar dug into the Masseto hill. It is built around Merlot and matured in French oak barriques, though for a shorter period than the senior wine, and is released earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecant for half an hour and serve at around 18 degrees with roast beef, duck or mushroom risotto; it is drinkable earlier than Masseto but will still hold ten years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
