Le Macchiole Messorio 2021

Tasting Notes

Implacable is the word that comes to mind at the first sip of the 2021 Messorio. Making wine in Bolgheri has only gotten more complicated in the last vintages, and most people would point to Merlot vineyards as the place the impending storm will first hit, but like a lighthouse whose light is better appreciated not despite but because of inclement conditions, Le Macchiole's Messorio seems to shine more brightly under duress. A beacon of light. Drink 2028-2041, or when you find yourself on a dark path. Cellar Selection. (Danielle Callegari,wineenthusiast.com,Dec. 1, 2024)
