Descrizione

The Rosso Toscana DOC Messorio by Le Macchiole is a wine that authentically represents the excellence of the Tuscan territory, more precisely from the vineyards that extend in the renowned area of Bolgheri. Mainly composed of Syrah, with a possible blend of other international grape varieties, this wine stands out for its deep and well-structured character. The aging takes place in oak barrels, which give the Messorio elegance and a unique aromatic complexity, where scents of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and light balsamic notes emerge. On the palate it is full, with velvety tannins and a pleasant persistence that invites another sip. Ideal to accompany red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, the Rosso Toscana DOC Messorio is a refined and intense expression of the Bolgheri terroir, capable of thrilling even the most demanding connoisseurs.
