{"product_id":"messorio-le-macchiole-2001","title":"Messorio Le Macchiole 2001","description":"Messorio Le Macchiole 2001 is a full-bodied red wine from the Bolgheri sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. 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. Over the years it has become a reference point for quality Tuscan wine. Messorio was first produced in 1994 and is made from 100% Merlot, with 18 months spent maturing in oak barriques. On the 2001. \"This was a cooler year on Coastal Tuscany and the 2001 Messorio shows the signs of a slower and more prolonged evolution. The summer months were slightly cooler than average with more evident diurnal shifts towards the end of the growing season that helped to amplify the wine’s dark fruit aromas and its beautiful sense of grace and balanced power. A deep freeze during spring months naturally reduced yields in the vineyards. The wine’s slow and steady bottle evolution has established profound depth and silky persistence. The bouquet is highly distinctive thanks to the mineral notes and a touch of delicate herb (that reminded me of green clover) that lifts so delicately from the wine’s darkened core. The tannins are smooth and beautifully polished.\" Wine Advocate, 2016","brand":"Le Macchiole","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62415999107402,"sku":"HED85746","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED85746.jpg?v=1781904275","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/messorio-le-macchiole-2001","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
