| | Le Macchiole was one of the first wineries established in the viticultural zone of Bolgheri located approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Florence along the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany. Leading down the middle of this zone is the strada San Guido, which is flanked left and right with majestic cypress trees celebrated by Giosuè Carducci in his poem Davanti San Guido, and then finishes into a tiny medieval village, situated on the base of the foothills.
Are all very limited but we are being offered a little due to our good relations!

| | | | 2012 Le Macchiole Messorio
$225 bottle
100% Merlot Bolgheri, Tuscany
97 Points Robert Parker “The 2012 Messorio is a drop dead gorgeous wine. Warm summer temperatures have done their part to shape a soft and supple wine that feels like silk sheets against the palate. The bouquet is redolent of red fruit, bold cherry, leather, spice, tar, licorice and grilled herb. The youth of the wine allows you the perspective of contemplating each one of those aromas individually. They will, of course, reach greater harmony and integration as the wine continues its long evolution. This wine reflects beautifully on the magnificence of Merlot in Coastal Tuscany.”

$120 bottle
100% Cabernet Franc Bolgheri, Tuscany
97 Points James Suckling “Love the aromas to this wine with black olives, red chiles and violets. Full-bodied, very tannic and structured, yet polished and also in harmony. A rich, racy and wonderful young red. Pure cabernet franc. Better in 2017.”

| | 2012 Le Macchiole Scrio
$155 bottle
100% Syrah Bolgheri, Tuscany
96 Points James Suckling “A decadent syrah with loads of meat, dark fruits and hints of vanilla. Full-bodied, round and chewy yet leading to a long, long finish of fruit that turns to black pepper. Drink or hold.”
