Messorio 2012

- 96 points -

The 2012 Messorio is the most beautiful and complete of Le Macchiole's 2012s. A wine of texture and structure, especially for the year, the 2012 offers terrific depth and intensity. Here, too, readers need to be patient, as the 2012 is young and not fully formed with few of the nuances that will develop over time. Although always quite seductive upon release, Messorio really blossoms after at least a few years in bottle.
