Territory and wine style

Produced as IGT Toscana and made from 100% Merlot, Messorio is born from the desire to best express an international grape variety in the Bolgheri context. The grapes come from the Puntone and Vignone vineyards, in an area suited for producing intense yet balanced reds. The wine's style reflects Le Macchiole's pursuit: a modern, elegant, and rigorous interpretation of the territory, with attention to the purity of the fruit and the wine's ability to evolve over time.

Tasting notes

Messorio 2017 presents a broad and enveloping sensory profile, typical of a great Tuscan Merlot. On the nose, it offers sensations of ripe fruit, spicy nuances, and a complex aromatic profile that enriches with aging. On the palate, it shows structure, density, and finesse, with present but smooth tannins and a soft, balanced, and persistent flavor texture. The acidity supports the sip and contributes to the overall balance, leaving a long and harmonious finish.

Recommended pairings

This wine pairs naturally with important and flavorful dishes. It is ideal with roasted or grilled red meats, braised dishes, fillets, delicate game, and long-cooked preparations. It also expresses well with aged cheeses and structured Tuscan cuisine, where the softness of the Merlot and the wine's complexity find a convincing balance.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature for Messorio 2017 is between 16 and 18 °C. In a Magnum bottle, an early opening, even an hour in advance, can be helpful to promote the evolution of the bouquet and greater harmony of the sip. If young to the taste, a brief aeration can help enhance its depth and finesse.
