93 Wine Spectator
On the herbal side, but that meshes with the cherry, currant and cedar aromas and flavors, providing a Bordeaux-like profile. Elegant and harmonious, featuring a discreet, underlying structure, with fine balance and length. Merlot. Best from 2014 through 2024. 85 cases imported. –BS

The 2009 Messorio (Merlot) emerges from the glass with dark cherries, plums, mocha, smoke, incense and grilled herbs. There is plenty of power and depth, but little of the character that makes Messorio a great wine in its best vintages. In short, there isn’t a whole lot to get excited about, and I can’t remember the last time that was the case with Messorio. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. (Jun 2012)
Producer
Le Macchiole
In the early 1980s, Le Macchiole, along with several other wine-producers established the new frontier of high-quality Italian wines. Before his early death, Eugenio Campolmi and his wife, Cinzia Merli began this revolutionary project, turning their passion of wine into a life changing journey. Together they transformed this 18-hectare estate into one of the leading Super-Tuscan wineries in Bolgheri, ranking beside its neighbors Ornellaia and Sassicaia. Supported by the outstanding work of enologist, Luca D’Attoma, the wines have become Tuscany’s most exciting creations. The estate red, Macchiole is its largest production, followed by three exceptional mono-varietal reds: Paléo Rosso, Messorio, and Scrio. Paléo Rosso is a structured Cabernet Franc. The rich Messorio is a pure-Merlot, and Scrio is a mesmerizing Syrah. Cinzia Merli has since taken over the winery, and with great enthusiasm she continues to keep Eugenio’s innovative spirit alive.
