2012 Le Macchiole 'Scrio' Toscana IGT, Tuscany

‘Once an inky, super-concentrated wine, today’s Scrio is all about finesse. Crushed flowers, rose petals, sweet red berries and mint are some of the many notes that blossom in a wine built on nuance and varietal expression. Hints of black pepper, game, lavender, menthol and smoke develop in the glass, adding further layers of complexity. Cool-climate aromatics meet the pure power and breadth of Bolgheri in an utterly compelling Syrah with a bright future.’ Drink now-2028.
