Le Macchiole “Paleo Bianco” Toscana IGP 2023

A rare white from a region best known for its reds, Paleo Bianco is Le Macchiole’s refined take on Tuscan white wine. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, this elegant blend reveals a fresh and mineral-driven personality. The 2023 vintage continues the estate’s tradition of precision and low-intervention winemaking, offering a vibrant, textured white with real aging potential.

Dating back to the beginning of the 1980s, Le Macchiole is one of the historic wineries in Bolgheri, and over the years, it has become a reference point for quality Tuscan wine. Founders Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli were among the region’s pioneers, and they contributed in a significant way to Bolgheri’s growing fame thanks to their work in creating wines full of character and personality that have become a symbol of the region. Today, Cinzia runs the winery with the essential support of her sons Elia and Mattia, who have become an important presence at the winery, together with a close team of enthusiastic colleagues. They have become one big family that never ceases to innovate and surprise themselves and one another. Ever changing in order to remain faithful to its original vision, Le Macchiole is in continuous evolution thanks to a careful, contemporary reading of wine and terroir. The conviction to pursue organic farming and an increasingly sustainable approach; a style that has become more and more defined, favoring refinement and elegance; and authenticity and personality have all become the defining characteristics of an historic winery that is nonetheless always moving forward, and always aware of the times.  

Brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections. Aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, crisp apple, and subtle tropical fruit. On the palate, it is vibrant and layered, with refreshing acidity, wet stone minerality, and a refined texture that leads to a long, savory finish. A serious, gastronomic white wine.

Pairs beautifully with sea bass carpaccio, grilled prawns, poultry in creamy sauces, or goat cheese salads. Its structure and freshness make it an excellent partner for elegant, seasonal cuisine.
