The wine

Messiio : The Soul of Merlot in Maremma Toscana

Imagine for a moment Maremma, that wild and generous land. It is from there that Messiio comes to us, a Merlot that perfectly embodies the power and elegance of its terroir. It is not just a wine, it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a promise of unforgettable moments.

Tenuta Fertuna : The expression of a unique terroir

Tenuta Fertuna, nestled in the heart of Maremma Toscana, has built its reputation by producing wines that reflect the authenticity and richness of this region. Messiio, a pure Merlot, is the fruit of a meticulous selection of the best clusters. The favorable climatic conditions and the richness of Maremma's soils allow this grape variety to express all its distinctive qualities, offering a wine of character and depth. Fermentation in steel and controlled maceration are the first steps of its creation, followed by an aging that gives it its complexity.

Visually, this Messiio captivates the eye with its deep and luminous ruby red color. On the nose, I perceive a complex and seductive bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits blend with nuances of aromatic herbs and sweet spices. The aging of a few months in wood brings an elegant touch of vanilla and oak, enriching its aromatic profile without ever masking the varietal aromas of the Merlot. On the palate, it reveals remarkable concentration and complexity, with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that brings beautiful freshness. The richness of the red fruit flavors blends harmoniously with notes of chocolate and coffee, culminating in a long and persistent finish that invites contemplation.

Messiio at your table

This Merlot DOC Maremma Toscana is the ideal companion for special occasions. I recommend it with rich and structured dishes: think of elaborate red meats, flavorful roasts, or a simmered game dish. It will also pair wonderfully with aged cheeses, highlighting their flavors. This wine is not just a tasting, it is an experience that leaves a mark, a symbol of Maremma's wine passion.

Messiio relies on pure Merlot: fermentation in steel, controlled maceration, then a few months in wood without masking the grape's aromas. A clever choice if you want to discover Maremma in a way other than through its blends.
