About
“Scrio” is Le Macchiole’s rare and iconic 100% Syrah wine, produced in small quantities and only in exceptional vintages. The name "Scrio" is a Tuscan dialect word meaning “pure, honest, genuine” — a fitting expression for this rich, powerful, and deeply personal wine. The 2021 vintage delivers extraordinary intensity, elegance, and aging potential, showcasing the Bolgheri terroir in a bold, Rhône-inspired style.
Producer
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.
Tasting notes
The 2021 “Scrio” opens with concentrated aromas of blackberry, blueberry, violet, and cracked black pepper, followed by graphite, smoked meat, and lavender. The palate is rich and textured, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a savory, persistent finish that lingers with hints of dark chocolate and herbs. A wine of power and precision that will age gracefully for decades.
Pairing
Perfect with grilled ribeye, venison, truffle dishes, or braised short ribs. Its bold character and spice notes make it an excellent match for rich, umami-driven cuisine.

Toscana
The hilly terrain and warm climate make Tuscany an ideal region for winemaking. It ranks third by the amount DOC and DOCG category wines after Piemonte and Veneto. Currently the most popular variety is the noble Sangiovese - it is extremely thermophilic and successfully reveals its best traits in warm climates. Wines have a lovely structure, velvety tannins and a fruity aroma, the color is rich ruby red, but the most distinguishable flavor notes are cherries, raspberries and spices.
