One of the most important wineries in Tuscany's Bolgheri, Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli created Le Macchiole which became one of the region's very first wineries. At a time when Sangiovese was still king, this was one of the very first to include grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah into their vineyards, providing Bordeaux & Italian lovers alike a new prism through which to see the region and the grapes.
With a total of 86 acres under vine throughout the appellation, the family remains steadfast in their plot-by-plot assessments; each is harvested individually, stringently sorted and vinified separately. The Bolgheri Rosso is the flagship of the estate, utilizing all of the red grapes that made them famous. The individual wines, such as the Paleo - 100% Cabernet Franc - are well worth seeking out!!
