MAREMMA TOSCANA "MESSIIO" FERTUNA 2017

Messiio, a name originating from the tradition which means "he who will come", is the excellent wine of the cellar, produced only in the best vintages. Made with only Merlot grapes, coming from the most long-lived and selected vineyards of the estate, it represents the maximum expression of this blend, universally recognized as a vine with great roundness and softness. The careful selection of the grapes, the maniacal care in the winemaking process, the partial fermentation and the aging in wood give Messiio depth, persistence and a strong personality.
The nose is an explosion of black fruits in infinite variety, wrapped in subtle notes of vanilla. On the palate the aromatic component evolves towards tobacco and chocolate, with a slight note of caramel. Round, full-bodied and intense.
