Dating back to the beginning of the 1980s, and founded by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, `Le Macchiole` is one of the historic wineries in Bolgheri, and over the years, it has become a reference point for quality Tuscan wine. First produced in 1994, the name `Messorio` refers to the wheat harvest and is made from 100% Merlot, with 18 months spent maturing in oak barriques.

Vinous
The 1997 Messorio is quite marked by the vintage. Firm, powerful tannins still prevail in this youthful, virile Messorio. After having tasted the 1994 and 1995 it is frankly a bit difficult for the palate to grasp the 1997. This is a wine with a brilliant future. I suspect the 1997 will always show a slight edginess to its tannin that is consistent with a hot year, but this is nevertheless a hugely impressive wine that is sure to deliver considerable pleasure to those who can wait.
