Le Macchiole 23 Bolgheri Rosso DOC 750ml

The Coastal Sophisticate
Le Macchiole is a name synonymous with precision and organic viticulture in the Bolgheri region. Their 2023 Bolgheri Rosso is a masterclass in blending, offering a "snapshot" of the Tuscan coast’s unique terroir. It strikes a perfect balance between the plush, soft tannins of Merlot and the structured, herbal complexity of Cabernet Franc. This is a wine of incredible "drinkability" that manages to be both approachable and profoundly elegant.

Appearance - Intense purple-ruby with a bright rim.
Nose - An expressive and "sunny" bouquet. Aromas of dark plums, blackcurrants, and blueberries are layered with Mediterranean herbs (rosemary and thyme), tobacco leaf, and a hint of dark chocolate.
Palate - Medium to full-bodied with a "silky" and fluid texture. The 2023 vintage is remarkably fresh, with juicy dark fruit flavors that are reined in by fine-grained tannins and a subtle, balsamic finish.
Pairings - Butabara, Iberico Pork, Black Pepper Beef, Beef Enoki Roll, Lamb Chops.
Service - Serve at 16–17°C. Keeping it slightly cooler than a heavy red helps emphasize its vibrant fruit and herbal notes.
