Description
Founded in 1983 by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, Le Macchiole is a success story born of passion, dedication, experimentation, persistence and expertise. Cinzia Merli and her team strive to bring forth the most precise expression of their land possible - as do all serious and skilled winemakers. The difference here was summed up beautifully by Monica Larner when she said: 'Cinzia Merli and her expert team (with consulting enologist Luca D'Attoma) have this extraordinary capacity of transmitting the poise and grace they possess as people to the wines they make.' (robertparker.com, Aug. 28th, 2013). When you taste this blend of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, you are not only experiencing the special terroir of Bolgheri, you are meeting the people who made it. That makes this a truly special wine. The 2011, 2012 & 2013 vintages of this wine were all rated 90 points by robertparker.com.

Tasting Notes
Released to much fanfare amidst growing popularity for this entry-level appellation on the Tuscan coast, the Le Macchiole 2019 Bolgheri Rosso is a beautiful specimen, thanks to its honest simplicity and its charming approach. The wine reveals good fruit complexity with blue and purple berries contrasted against toasted spice and baked earth. But if anything truly stands out here, it is the expert integration and general seamlessness of the wine's various moving parts. This is a terrific wine to uncork for a fun family meal with pasta and grilled meats around the kitchen table. Drink date: 2021-2026. Score - 93. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Oct. 7, 2021)
