Maremma Toscana DOC Rosso Messiio 2019 Fertuna

What type of wine is it

Messiio di Fertuna is born from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Syrah. Classified as Maremma Toscana, it features a warm and enveloping profile. It evolves through measured aging that lends it a style where aromatic intensity merges with a strong structure, recalling aromas of red berries and sweet spices.

Where it comes from

It originates in the vineyards of the Fertuna estate, in the Maremma of Grosseto. Its provenance is central to this wine, as the grapes grow under the Tuscan sun, allowing them to gain remarkable balance. The Maremma Toscana designation defines the connection with the area of origin, enabling excellent ripening and giving the glass a clear territorial mark, a faithful expression of the Tuscan terroir.

How it is produced

After blending Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Syrah, the wine rests for twelve months in French oak barriques to develop its aromatic profile. Once the aging in wood is finished, the process ends with a bottle refinement for six months. This precise timing allows the components to merge, guaranteeing a harmonious sip.

Tasting notes

It displays an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, ethereal notes anticipate red berry fruits and embracing hints of vanilla from the wood. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, and pleasantly enveloping thanks to its solid structure. The finish is balanced, leaving an elegant aftertaste in harmony with its evolution.

Food pairings

Its solid structure makes it ideal with platters of aged cheeses and flavorful cured meats. On the table, it pairs naturally with stews, roasted red meats, and game. Its softness is the perfect match for slow-cooked dishes, such as stewed wild boar, where it balances the succulence of the meat and offers a gratifying pairing.

When to serve

It is recommended for those seeking a wine able to accompany rich dishes. It expresses itself best at the right serving temperature, which is essential to unveiling clear vanilla sensations and ripe fruit. It accompanies well convivial moments and substantial lunches, bringing to the table a harmonious profile perfect for enhancing the earthy dishes of gastronomic tradition.
