Voss Expert tasting note
The nose boasts intense aromas of red and black fruits, with notes of graphite, spices, and violets. On the palate, the wine is powerful and concentrated, with ripe, sweet tannins and a long, complex finish.

Deep and multi faceted Merlot adventure awaits, with a intense and silky consistency that covers the palate. The accents are well-balanced and harmonious, with a smooth and friendly finish. However, the wine's profile could benefit from a bit more body and complexity, particularly in terms of tannins and acidity.

Second visit to Enoteca Tognoni in Bolgheri proved to be a highlight of my journey. The tasting bar and retailer is a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts. I was particularly impressed by the Messorio, a 100% Merlot that expresses the region's signature style. The 99-point score from RP is a testament to the wine's amazing quality. The Messorio is a flagship wine that would pair well with a wide range of dishes, and its ageability makes it a mind-blowing top pick for those looking to invest in a high-quality bottle.
Huma Huizar
Full bodied and velvety Merlot with a deep, inky color, featuring plum, inky cherry, and dense chocolate notes, even by vanilla and balsamic undertones. The palate is full-bodied and intense, with supple tannins and silky acidity, making it a well-structured wine with a long, elegant finish.

Le Macchiole Messorio is a well-regarded Merlot praised for its full-bodied, velvety texture with notes of plum, chocolate, and vanilla. While many appreciate its rich, complex flavors and long finish, some older vintages like 1999 were seen as overly ripe. The wine is noted for its ageability and pairs well with various dishes, making it a favorite among enthusiasts.
This iconic Tuscan Merlot from Le Macchiole is a true expression of the terroir. The nose boasts intense aromas of red and black fruits, with notes of graphite, spices, and violets. On the palate, the wine is powerful and concentrated, with ripe, sweet tannins and a long, complex finish. Enjoy now or age for a few years to allow the flavors to fully develop.
