Messorio Bolgheri The Toscana Rosso Messorio from the Le Macchiole Winery originates from vineyards located in the municipality of Bolgheri. It is produced exclusively with Merlot grapes, handpicked between the first and second week of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 20 days. Subsequently, the wine is aged in barriques for 14 months before being bottled. It is characterized by a deep ruby red color. On the nose, it opens with fruity hints of raspberry and currant, enriched by pleasant spicy notes. On the palate, it is rich and intense, with very persistent aromas. The wine has a pleasant sweet tannin finish. Perfect for accompanying meat ragù dishes and risottos, it is ideal paired with game, stews, and roasts.

Company: Le Macchiole Year: 2017 Region: Tuscany Grape Variety: 100% Merlot Size: 750 ml Category: Super Tuscan Information: Characterized by slow growth due to a cool and rainy spring, we decided to wait and deliberately delay the harvest period. We helped the vines by removing leaves and airing the bunches to mature and concentrate the grapes as best as possible. Aided by splendid weather at the end of summer, we harvested in excellent conditions grapes rich in polyphenols, acidity, and sugars. The strong temperature variation between day and night helped us maintain the aromas, thus giving the wine great complexity. The wines are fresh, with a lower alcohol content than in the past, and both whites and reds express themselves with mineral notes, distinct aromas, a good tannic structure balanced by splendid acidity. Alcohol content: 14% Pairings: Truffled duck breast. Serving temperature: 16-18°C The Sommelier's comment: Bright ruby robe. Broad and elegant aromas of black cherry, blackberry jam, Mediterranean scrub, cloves, cardamom, juniper, alternating with aromas of chocolate, licorice, and mint. Imposing round taste perfected by energetic and perfectly extracted tannins. Long mineral trail.
