Messorio, born in 1994, is our personal challenge with one of the most widespread varieties in the Bolgheri area: Merlot. The name messerio derives from the term that identified the harvest period. The most important moment in the life of our countryside, once linked to wheat, is now, for us, indispensably identified with the harvest. Generous and perfect grape for the typical blend of Bolgheri wines, it appears difficult and complex when you decide to produce it in purity. Considered today one of the most representative Italian Merlots in the world, decisive, of notable complexity and elegance which grows year after year with refinement in the bottle.
