Le Macchiole Messorio 2006 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. The 2006 vintage was matured for 16 months in new oak barriques.

The 2006 is simply a flat-out great Messorio. Today it is the wine's density and structure that are most evident, but with time in the glass the inner perfume, minerality and sheer pedigree begin to emerge. This is a vintage that combines elements of sumptuous ripeness and structure to a degree that is highly unusual for Bolgheri. As such, the 2006 Messorio is best left alone for perhaps as long as another decade. When the wine finally emerges it will be spectacular. Hints of new leather, licorice and crushed rocks linger on the refined, classy finish. Antonio Galloni1st February 2011
