Why is this bottle of Italian $1300?
Head Sommelier Sebastiano Ingaliso at a DTLA wine shop told me he spent several months sourcing the wine to form the centerpiece of his vintage wine list. “It is a fantastic wine with great structure and longevity."
But still, why the hell is it so damn expensive expensive?
“The Tenuta Dell’ Ornellaia winery is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest and most sought after vintages and is the only place in the world to produce a Masseto of this quality.
“What makes the wine so rare and also so expensive is the fact there are so few bottles produced.
“As a quick comparison, a winery might produce 10,000 cases of house wine compared to just 1,000 cases of Masseto – making sourcing a bottle extremely difficult.”
