Le Macchiole Toscana IGP “Paleo” 2022

Le Macchiole's Paleo Bianco 2022 is a dry white wine from the Toscana IGT region in Italy. This vintage is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing the winery's commitment to crafting elegant and expressive wines.

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.  

On the nose, it presents deep aromas of lime and white flowers, complemented by delicate spicy notes reminiscent of almond and hazelnut. The palate reveals flavors of tart apple skins and white peach, leading to a linear and precise finish.

This wine pairs beautifully with dishes like grilled sea bass, lobster thermidor, or a simple yet decadent truffle risotto, enhancing the dining experience with its well-balanced acidity and complex flavor profile.
