Le Macchiole Scrio 2021

Toscana IGT

February 19, 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.

Tenuta Luce Luce 2019

Toscana IGT
