The 2022 Bolgheri Rosso from Le Macchiole is a quintessential Super Tuscan that beautifully captures the essence of coastal Tuscany. Hailing from Bolgheri, a region renowned for its maritime climate and mineral-rich soils, this wine is crafted from a blend of 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, and 10% Sangiovese. The estate, established in the 1980s, spans approximately 27 hectares and is celebrated for its commitment to biodynamic practices and minimal intervention winemaking .
The 2022 vintage experienced a challenging growing season with late rains, leading to a prolonged harvest that ultimately resulted in excellent grape quality . The wine underwent fermentation with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks, followed by 10 months of ageing—80% in second, third, and fourth-use barriques, and 20% in concrete .
On the nose, the 2022 Bolgheri Rosso offers aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, complemented by subtle notes of spices and herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a harmonious finish.
This wine pairs excellently with grilled meats, pasta dishes with rich sauces, and aged cheeses. Its structure and complexity also make it suitable for aging, allowing it to evolve gracefully over time.
