This is Le Macchiole's entry level red. The 2014 Bolgheri Rosso (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) offers bright fruit and dried cherry in a less formal packaging. There is plenty of spice, which you definitely feel in the mouth, with cinnamon and clove in subtle doses. The mouthfeel offers a touch of lingering sweetness. This wine treads in light footsteps and its easy-come-easy-go approach makes it great for pairing with hearty pasta dishes. Some 111,000 bottles are produced.
Producer
Le Macchiole
In the early 1980s, Le Macchiole, along with several other wine-producers established the new frontier of high-quality Italian wines. Before his early death, Eugenio Campolmi and his wife, Cinzia Merli began this revolutionary project, turning their passion of wine into a life changing journey. Together they transformed this 18-hectare estate into one of the leading Super-Tuscan wineries in Bolgheri, ranking beside its neighbors Ornellaia and Sassicaia. Supported by the outstanding work of enologist, Luca D’Attoma, the wines have become Tuscany’s most exciting creations. The estate red, Macchiole is its largest production, followed by three exceptional mono-varietal reds: Paléo Rosso, Messorio, and Scrio. Paléo Rosso is a structured Cabernet Franc. The rich Messorio is a pure-Merlot, and Scrio is a mesmerizing Syrah. Cinzia Merli has since taken over the winery, and with great enthusiasm she continues to keep Eugenio’s innovative spirit alive.
