Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso 2022
Toscana IGT
June 12, 2026 - Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso is regarded as Italy’s defining expression of Cabernet Franc, showcasing the grape’s potential in Bolgheri. The Mediterranean climate yields a wine with deep, expressive fruits and savory spices, all with remarkable texture. Originally a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Franc, the 2000 vintage led to an increase in Cabernet Franc, bringing freshness and acidity. By 2001, it was bottled as a single-varietal, the first in Bolgheri, setting the standard for Italian Cabernet Franc.

Le Macchiole Messorio 2022
Toscana IGT
June 12, 2026 - Messorio is Le Macchiole’s crown jewel and one of Italy’s most iconic Merlots. First produced in 1994, it marked a daring shift in Bolgheri, where blending was the norm and single-variety wines were nearly unheard of. That bold decision became a defining one. Messorio is soulful and expressive, with a texture like silk and layers of finesse that unfold slowly in the glass. The name refers to the wheat harvest, once the most important time of year in Bolgheri. Today, that honor goes to the grape harvest, especially when it yields a wine like this.
Wine Enthusiast - November 01, 2025 "The cool, fresh, saline nose of dirt, herbs, new leather, tulips and hibiscus candy glides into a palate which is sweeter but still coherent, with flavors of blackberries, cherries, wild…
Wine Spectator - June 11, 2025 "Purity is the hallmark of this vibrant, black cherry–, blackberry- and violet-flavored red. Solidly built, with refined tannins that will require time to integrate, yet overall this is balanced and…
James Suckling - May 08, 2025 "A dark and restrained wine with mint, balsamic, cassis and graphite aromas. The full-bodied palate is smooth and velvety, with crisp acidity, extracted yet ripe tannins and flavors of dark…
