Le Macchiole Messorio 2020 – Bolgheri, Tuscany
by Le Macchiole
A monumental expression of pure Merlot from one of Italy’s most respected estates, Messorio 2020 showcases Bolgheri’s ability to produce wines of both immense power and striking elegance. Crafted entirely from Merlot, this flagship cuvée is consistently ranked among Italy’s finest wines and often compared to legendary Right Bank Bordeaux.
Bolgheri’s coastal influence — warm sunshine tempered by cooling sea breezes — allows Merlot to reach perfect ripeness while preserving freshness and structure.
The 2020 vintage is noted for its plush fruit, refined tannins, and beautifully balanced profile, offering early approachability while retaining excellent ageing potential.
