Note di degustazione
The 2012 Messorio is a drop dead gorgeous wine. Warm summer temperatures have done their part to shape a soft and supple wine that feels like silk sheets against the palate. The bouquet is redolent of red fruit, bold cherry, leather, spice, tar, licorice and grilled herb. The youth of the wine allows you the perspective of contemplating each one of those aromas individually. They will, of course, reach greater harmony and integration as the wine continues its long evolution. This wine reflects beautifully on the magnificence of Merlot in Coastal Tuscany.

The 2012 Messorio is the most beautiful and complete of Le Macchiole's 2012s. A wine of texture and structure, especially for the year, the 2012 offers terrific depth and intensity. Here, too, readers need to be patient, as the 2012 is young and not fully formed with few of the nuances that will develop over time. Although always quite seductive upon release, Messorio really blossoms after at least a few years in bottle.
