40% Merlot, 15% Cab S,15% Syrah and 30% Cabernet Franc.
Usually from two new younger vineyards planted in 2012 and 2015. One is a rocky hillside vineyard and the other is quite sandy.This is supplemented by fruit that does not make the grade for the Paleo, Scrio and Messorio. Fermentation is done in stainless steel – 15 days. Press and decant for 1 month. Then 60% goes into old barriques and 40% is held in concrete for about 8 months and then the wine is blended.
Of the 2017 ‘As usual, Le Macchiole has done a great job with all of its releases, including the lower-end bottles such as the 2017 Bolgheri Rosso. There is a sure sense of precision and sharpness here with bright berry and black cherry. Those aromas show quality and craftsmanship. You would do well to pair this accessible, mid-weight wine with simple pasta topped with fresh tomato sauce. Drink: 2019-2025
