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.

Le Macchiole

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!!

(100% merlot; 14% alcohol) Fully saturated deep ruby. Knockout nose reads like a textbook on world-class merlot from a warm site: ripe blackberry, blueberry, coffee, cocoa, violet and minerals. The palate delivers utterly pure, mesmerizingly deep flavors of cassis, delicate smoky plum and minerals. Wonderful balancing acidity keeps the ripe fruit dancing on your taste buds and extends the flavors on the long, creamy finish. This is probably the best young Messorio I have ever tasted, and my score might even be a little stingy. Like all recent vintages of Messorio, it did a complete turnaround a couple years after the vintage: six months ago it was wildly better than it was upon release, and now it's even finer. Time will tell if this beauty will ultimately outperform the great 2001; I'm betting it will.
