Messorio 1997

Le Macchiole (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Messorio 1997 – Toscana IGT Druer: 100 % Merlot (producentens tekniske ark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): A very warm and rainless spring affected the vines by causing an early budbreak. A drastic drop in temperatures around mid-April, however, stopped the growth of the shoots, bringing everything back to normal. From May on, temperatures rose and the summer months were marked by hot and dry weather which continued up to harvest time that began on the first week of September. Harvesting, although poor in terms of quantity, was extraordinary from the quality point of view.
