Comment on noteThe wine
Today I invite you to meet a wine that embodies the Tuscan Maremma with rare distinction. The Messiio 2010 from Tenuta Fertuna is a promise of sensory travel, a masterful interpretation of Merlot that will surprise you with its depth and balance.
This wine was born in the Maremma, a region of Tuscany where generous nature meets winemaking expertise. Tenuta Fertuna has distinguished itself by its ability to elevate grape varieties, even international ones, by anchoring them in the unique terroir of this land. It is a pure Merlot, the 2010 vintage, from a rigorous selection of the best clusters.
Visually, the Messiio reveals itself in an intense and vibrant red robe, an invitation to discovery. On the nose, its bouquet is rich and complex; you will perceive dominant notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices and vanilla, enhanced by a hint of chocolate. Balsamic and earthy nuances add depth and finesse to this aromatic ensemble. On the palate, this wine expresses great elegance and controlled power. You will be charmed by its velvety tannins and balanced structure, harmoniously blended with refreshing acidity. The flavors of ripe fruits and toasted notes integrate into a long and persistent finish, a true echo of the Maremma. Its vinification includes fermentation in steel with controlled maceration, followed by 12 months of aging.
This Merlot is an ideal companion for dishes with character. I recommend it with red meats, flavorful roasts or aged cheeses. But beyond the perfect pairing, the Messiio is also a wine for meditation, inviting you to take your time, to savor every nuance and to let yourself be carried away by the richness of great Tuscan wines. It is an experience I strongly encourage you to live.
