Messorio 2002

Le Macchiole (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Messorio 2002 – Toscana IGT Druer: 100 % Merlot (producentens tekniske ark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): Spring was marked by slightly above-average temperatures and heavy rainfall. It rained non-stop from July on, with below-average temperatures. During harvesting, weather conditions were quite changeable, with only one period of steady good weather during which we harvested some fairly ripe grapes, but then the rain took over again preventing all grapes from achieving perfect ripeness. Harvest 2002 was one of the most challenging of the decade.
