The 2022 Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso Tuscany was a Merchant's Pick
SUPER TUSCAN SENSATION HAILS FROM BOLGHERI
September 11, 2024
If you love Super Tuscans, Le Macchiole is a must-have! Le Macchiole is one of the original Super Tuscan producers. They have been creating prized wines since the beginning of Bolgheri's rise in popularity and rival the same caliber of Ornenaila, Sassacaia, and Guado al Tasso.
Only 12 bottles of their prized "Messorio" flagship were imported, which, if you can find it, will cost nearly $275. Fortunately, their Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso, while also limited, is equally special!
"A ripe, juicy version, boasting crunchy cherry, blackberry and spice flavors. This leads to the tannic side, with a mouthwatering, moderately long finish." Wine Spectator
"This wine is really polished and smooth, with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. It has a medium body, a creamy texture and a long and expressive finish with red fruits, stones and thyme." James Suckling
Delicious Bordeaux Blend
Le Macchiole showcases the raw power of the estate's wines! It's a fantastic example of the Bordeaux-style blends that are being produced in Tuscany. This Tuscan treat is 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah. 100%. Delicious!
Awarded Winery Of The Year Two Years In A Row!

Le Macchiole winery practices biodynamic farming, and there are no gimmicks here. This Rosso is undoubtedly one of Tuscany's best red blends.
We are excited that we were able to get our hands on some, and you should grab what you can!
