La Macchiole was established in 1983 by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli. Their inaugural vintage hit the market in 1987, while the flagship wine, Paleo, made its debut in 1989. Initially, Paleo was a Bordeaux blend, but during the 1990s, La Macchiole shifted its focus towards crafting single-varietal wines. Sadly, Campolmi passed away in 2002, and since then, Merli has taken charge of the estate. Messorio, a wine made entirely from Merlot, undergoes fermentation in stainless steel and larger barrels, followed by a 20-month ageing process in barriques, of which 75% are new.
The 2007 Messorio is another standout. A super-ripe expression of fruit is balanced with considerable structure, delicacy and finesse, with scents of mocha, graphite, French oak, licorice and new leather that emerge over time. Over the last few months the Messorio has absorbed its oak beautifully. The finish is long, nuanced and utterly impeccable. That said, this remains an intense, towering wine in need of a long slumber. The 2007 isn`t one of the more massive Messorios, instead it is a wine built on elegance. - Antonio Galloni
