Energy and depth define Le Macchiole Messorio 2020, a focused Tuscan Merlot that weaves ripe black cherry and cassis with violet, dark chocolate, graphite and finely judged oak spice. The palate is concentrated yet remarkably fresh for the vintage, with sleek but assertive tannins and a long, mineral-tinged finish that promises significant development in bottle.

Messorio is Le Macchiole’s flagship, single-varietal Merlot from Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, first produced in 1994 as an ambitious, “thoroughbred” alternative to soft, generic Merlot. Sourced from low-yielding vines on mineral-rich coastal soils, it’s typically a deeply colored, powerful yet refined wine, showing dark berry fruit, Mediterranean herbal and spice nuances, and velvety but structured tannins that reward extended cellaring.
