Le Macchiole Messorio 2020

“The 2020 Messorio is opulent yet elegant, offering wonderful notes of pure kirsch, blackberry, cedar, and incense, and lavender as well as sweet herbs. It has a round and full texture, with velvety tannin and notes of fresh red plum and crunchy redcurrant along with a bit of mocha and dusty earth. It is a generous wine but feels fresh in balance with its warmth.” —A.F 1/2023
