Le Macchiole Toscana IGP “Paleo” 2020 Rosso

Le Macchiole Toscana IGP Paleo 2020 Rosso is a dry red wine crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc, showcasing the elegance and complexity of Tuscany's coastal region, Bolgheri. This organic wine reflects the winery's commitment to sustainability and precision winemaking, resulting in a refined expression of its terroir. With a robust structure and impeccable balance, Paleo 2020 is a true icon of the region, exuding both power and grace.

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.  

The wine opens with an intense bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe cherry, and graphite, complemented by hints of dried herbs, cedar, and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and vibrant, with velvety tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Notes of dark chocolate and a touch of spice add depth and intrigue, making each sip a memorable experience.

Le Macchiole Paleo 2020 pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled lamb chops, beef tenderloin, or rich mushroom risotto. For a vegetarian option, try it with roasted eggplant parmesan or aged cheeses to highlight its complex flavors.
