Could be the best buy from Italy in the store right now!
Le Macchiole can best be defined as the “Boutique Bolgheri.”
The winery is known for its spectacular single varietal wines — Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc which sell for $200-300 per bottle and usually score the 97 point range!
The Bolgheri Rosso is a refined, irresistible blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, serving as an introduction to the estate. The wine is, frankly, almost too good at the price

50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Syrah
Luxurious, rich, a little mysterious with scents hard to articulate even though they're very rare and specific, like ambergris or truffles, walking a line that's so close to things that should provoke disgust but instead excite and allure. Intoxicating.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Enthusiast
Moving to the reds, the 2023 Bolgheri Rosso boasts a youthful medium ruby red color, while the nose is pretty and floral with aromas of dusty earth, mixed berries, fresh herbs, and violets. The palate has a lot of focus and a bright, refreshing spine of acidity, fine tannins, and a clean, lightly mineral-inflected savoriness on the finish. A fantastic entry to the range with a huge potential for value, drink it over the next 8-10 years. It has a lot of precision and focus at this time and will only improve with another 6-12 months in the bottle.
