Messorio 2013

Le Macchiole (hentet 13. okt. 2026): Messorio 2013 – Toscana IGT Druer: 100 % Merlot (producentens tekniske ark). Vejret (producentens tekst, engelsk): A vintage of the highest quality due to the year's special weather conditions and to a careful management of the vineyards. After a rainy winter season, spring weather was cool throughout late May, which slowed down the grapes' flowering and growth for about 10-15 days leading to uneven flowering and, consequently, to a lower grape yield. Temperatures began to rise around mid-July, with large night-day temperature variation. The veraison process got off to a slow start in late July. The slow and even ripening of the clusters led to perfect phenolic maturation and development of a great varietal character.
