VinePair recently spotlighted Le Macchiole in its roundup of “cult wines that are worth the hype,” recognizing the Bolgheri-based estate for its pioneering spirit and exceptional quality. The article gathers expert insights from top industry professionals who identify cult producers whose acclaim is not only justified, but deeply earned.
Beverage director and JF Restaurants partner Amy Racine lauded Le Macchiole’s authenticity and impact:
“When we talk about a ‘cult wine’ that’s worth the hype, Le Macchiole immediately comes to mind. They were trailblazers in Bolgheri by focusing on single-varietal bottlings of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah. This became a coveted producer, and although there is so much hype, it is authentic. They have an unwavering connection to origin and show how international grapes can express a sense of place in Italy.”
