| | 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!

| | | | 2013 Le Macchiole Messorio
$1350 6pack
100% Merlot Bolgheri, Tuscany
98 Points Wine Advocate “The 2013 Messorio is a truly divine creation that puts Merlot on a well-deserved pedestal. This is a complete wine that accurately doses out its intensity and persistence with stopwatch precision. Dark fruit, blackberry, spice, leather, tar and tobacco are folded together into a homogeneous whole. The wine is supported by finely integrated tannins with lovely dark fruit flavors and beautifully plush textural richness. Thanks to the vintage warmth, the 2013 vintage is similar to 2011. But this current release presents a more delineated sense of freshness that holds it firmly stitched together. The finish is succulent and beautifully layered. Some 10,500 bottles were produced. This is a stunning wine that will not fade for decades to come.”

| | 2013 Le Macchiole Scrio
$990 6pack
100% Syrah Bolgheri, Tuscany
96 Points Wine Advocate “The 2013 Scrio is an opulent, generous and engaging wine. It reveals an all-Syrah personality with ample layers of dark fruit, blackberry, spice, cured meat, leather and bacon fat. Its integration is absolutely seamless. Scrio is dark and impenetrable in terms of appearance and presentation. The bouquet and the mouthfeel are long and luscious. You can count the length of the finish in many, many long seconds. Only 5,000 bottles are made. In terms of its aging potential, this Tuscan Syrah has the inner energy to last two decades or more.”

| | 2013 Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso
$696 6pack
100% Cabernet Franc Bolgheri, Tuscany
97 Points Wine Advocate “Paleo is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc first made in 2001. The 2013 Paleo shows a soft and feminine side with rose petal, lavender, wet earth, rosemary and dark fruit. These are beautiful but unexpected qualities. The wine is ever so reflective of the grape variety, but it also does a great job of incorporating Tuscan ideals, with sunshine, grace and generosity among them. As you dig deeper, Paleo reveals more surprising layers. The finish is soft and slightly sweet. Paleo reveals something new each time you go back to the glass to take a new sip. This wine promises a long aging future.”
