Messorio 2010

Le Macchiole (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Messorio 2010 – Toscana IGT Druer: 100 % Merlot (producentens tekniske ark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): In 2010, the vineyards' balance and the cool weather conditions were decisive factors in the achievement of the results we had in mind. Each step required the greatest care and attention, in particular, harvest time. 2010 was marked by a late and gradual growth cycle, due mostly to a cold and rainy spring and summer with temperatures within the norm for the time of the year and little rainfall. Such an even weather pattern allowed us to harvest as we thought best. In fact, we deliberately postponed harvesting of all varieties by lightening the foliage to allow for more air circulation to reach the grapes and to achieve the optimal ripening and concentration level. The good weather at the end of the season contributed to the harvesting of grapes in excellent conditions with the right amount of polyphenols, sugar and acidity. The large night/day temperature swings helped the grapes preserve all their typical aromas and give the wines great complexity.
