The wine

Messiio 2019: The Merlot soul of Tenuta Fertuna

Imagine yourself in the heart of Maremma, where the Tuscan sun caresses exceptional vines. This 2019 Merlot from Tenuta Fertuna is an invitation to a sensory journey, a bold and refined expression of this vibrant terroir.

Tenuta Fertuna: Maremman excellence

Maremma, this dynamic region of Tuscany, is a haven for characterful wines. The Tenuta Fertuna estate has found its place there, establishing itself through the quality of its productions and its innovative approach. It is here, in this blessed landscape, that this Merlot is born, from a meticulous selection of grapes, reflecting the passion and expertise of the estate.

This Merlot DOC Maremma Toscana, named "Messiio", is the result of rigorous vinification. After fermentation in steel tanks and controlled maceration, it benefits from careful aging of 12 to 18 months in oak barriques. This method allows the tannins to integrate and enriches its aromatic complexity. To the eye, you will discover an intense, deep red color. On the nose, a rich and complex bouquet opens with notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, interwoven with spicy accents and vanilla nuances. On the palate, this wine surprises with its roundness and depth, with silky, well-integrated tannins leading to a long, persistent finish, marked by a delicious freshness.

Gourmet pairings with the Messiio

This "Messiio" Merlot is an ideal companion for rich, structured dishes. I recommend it with grilled red meats, flavorful roasts, or aged cheeses. It is a wine that calls for moments of sharing, a bottle to open to celebrate special occasions or simply to treat yourself to a moment of pure Tuscan pleasure.

The Messiio 2019 ferments in steel tanks before spending 12 to 18 months in oak barriques: an aging process that gives it depth while keeping a fresh finish. Worth remembering if you're looking for a Maremma Merlot with a crafted profile, not just fruity.
