Rosso Toscano IGT “Paleo” 2019 – Le Macchiole

Le Macchiole can be defined as the “Boutique of Bolgheri”. Today Bolgheri is among the most famous wine regions in Italy, but this seemed impossible in 1983, the year Le Macchiole was founded. A time when the area was known simply for its proximity to the sea and for the abundant production of fruit and cereals. Yet, two Bolgheresi, Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, were so fascinated by viticulture and the idea of being able to produce wine that they decided to embark on this adventure anyway, even if many did not consider it a possible way to make a living. Magnificent shade of ruby red pigeon blood. Paleo enchants the sense of smell with a succession of scents that reveal themselves as you rotate the glass. Sweet spices, black pepper and juniper, raspberry chinotto and lavender, camphor aromatic herbs, ferrous notes and noble vegetal nuances. In the mouth it is a vortex of sensations that confirm what was found on the nose of the arts. It conquers the palate with grace, perfectly balanced by measured acid vein and tannins of rare elegance.
