Le Macchiole Scrio 2022
Toscana IGT
March 13, 2026 - This deep, spicy red was first produced in 1994, and the inspiration for its creation was the desire to produce a 100% Syrah, one of Le Macchiole’s favorite grapes. Rare and original and produced in very small quantities, Scrio quickly became a benchmark in Bolgheri. The name of the wine, inspired by a Tuscan expression that means “pure, candid, whole,” perfectly describes its defining characteristics.

Toscana IGT
March 12, 2026 - First produced in 1994, Scrio is a unique interpretation, and one of the very few Syrahs produced in Bolgheri, with an aromatic profile that tends more toward the spicy notes of the variety than the balsamic ones, and has acidity and freshness on the palate. The production numbers are tiny, never exceeding 5,000 bottles.
