Le Macchiole Messorio Toscana IGT 2020 0.75 lt.

Messorio represents a bold interpretation of Merlot, conceived in 1994 as a statement of intent against the conventions of the Bolgheri terroir. This wine rejects the predictable docility of the variety, embodying instead a wild and untamed character. The pursuit of the highest quality begins with the rigorous selection of the finest grapes, transformed into an expression of great personality and impact. The name evokes the crucial moment of the harvest, when the earth yields its finest fruit. A Merlot that rattles, for those who know the difference between conformity and excellence.

The vines are cultivated with extreme care and yield is very low, never exceeding 800 grams per plant. After harvesting, the grapes undergo fermentation, which takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in cement, with maceration on the skins lasting 20 days. The wine ages for at least 18 months in new French oak barriques and completes its aging in the bottle before being released for sale.

Messorio by Le Macchiole is a Merlot that embodies the elegance and sophistication of the Bolgheri terroir in the Maremma region of Tuscany. In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby ​​red, with a bouquet ranging from berries to delicate spices, enriched with notes of Mediterranean scrub and licorice. On the palate, it reveals extraordinary finesse: the palate is harmonious and supple, where the ripe fruit maintains its freshness despite the complex evolution. The velvety tannins and balanced acidity lend vitality and structure, creating a wine of great depth and persistence. An authentic expression of the intrinsic qualities of this noble grape, interpreted through the terroir of the Tuscan coast.
