Messorio 2011

Le Macchiole (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Messorio 2011 – Toscana IGT Druer: 100 % Merlot (producentens tekniske ark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): The weather of 2011 was quite variable. The winter season was rainy and the warm spring brought an early start to the growth cycle with a fast budbreak. The cooler temperatures in June and July, however, slowed down the process. Rain arrived at the right time, allowing the grapes to develop perfectly. A late-August heatwave sped up the ripening process again. The great care put into regulating fruit load on each plant allowed us to harvest perfectly healthy and ripe grapes, although slightly ahead of usual schedule. A new sorting area greatly improved and made the grape sorting process faster for each wine.
