Massovivo 2017 presents itself with a straw-yellow colour and beautiful green highlights. The nose is delicate and opens with elegant floral notes of jasmine that lead the way to ripe white fleshed fruit aromas accompanied by elegant mediterranean touches of freshly picked sage. A wine with great persistence.

The growing season was characterised by a relatively dry fall followed by a winter with temperatures that never fell below zero and a mild spring that stimulated the plant’s awakening. The flowering phase, in fact, began approximately earlier than the previous year. The spring rains ensured that the plants had the necessary water reserves to sustain themselves throughout the extremely dry summer with little scattered rainfall and temperatures consistently above 30°C. The result was a harvest noteworthy for the impeccable health of the plants and grapes.

Frescobaldi

The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of Italy's oldest wineries with a history dating to the 1300s. The family has included medieval knights bankers lawyers and patrons of the arts. The Marchesi de' Frescobaldi is one of the most significant wine producers in Italy with nine estates—and roughly 2 500 acres—in Tuscany. The family has been growing wine since the late 19th century when they became the first in Tuscany to import and plant French vine cuttings. Because they have been producing wines for more than 700 years to experience Frescobaldi is to glimpse the history of Florence from the Middle Ages to the present day. Wine Spectator has ranked many of their offerings in the 90s and their wines are consistently listed in the magazine's Top 100 Wines of the Year encouraging wine enthusiasts from around the globe to become familiar with some of Italy's finest wines.
