100% Cabernet Franc
WINE ADVOCATE 98 POINTS - "The Le Macchiole 2019 Paleo reveals an extremely precise and etched personality that is perfectly suited to this classic vintage. If you love Cabernet Franc, this is your wine. The bouquet is linear and tight with wet gravel, lead pencil and graphite that make an elegant frame around blackberry and black plum. You taste every last miniature detail in this complex and powerful expression. Fruit comes from a 5.5-hectare plot that rises from 37 to 70 meters above sea level. The soils are a mix of clay, sand, silt, stone and limestone that is characteristic of this stretch of Tuscan coastline. The wine is fermented in cement and aged in barrique for 20 months. On second nose, Paleo begins to offer cardamom pod, exotic spice and fragrant rose water. With 25,400 bottles made, you need to give this glorious wine time to age."
The winery was founded by Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli in the early 1980s while Bolgheri was still a young wine region on the international stage. Today it's one of the benchmark wineries for the region and for Tuscany overall. This special region on the sunny, hot Mediterranean coast has the moderate breezes and milder temperatures that make for boldly expressive, ripely succulent - even opulent - reds that are still well-balanced and lively. Practicing organic and biodynamic farming.
