Brilliant, rich ruby colour with a slight violet sheen. Very clear nose, with notes of wild blueberries, fruit and spice, lots of tobacco, exciting. Dense tannins on the palate, full-bodied, with fine spice

Le Macchiole:

The 22 hectares of vineyards are extremely densely planted with around 10,000 vines per hectare and are cultivated organically. The grapes are very strictly selected. From the very beginning, the aim of the management was to maximise the characteristics of the terroir in the individual subzones on their own land.

The Le Macchiole winery has received numerous top ratings from wine critics to date. For its many years of service, it was recognised as the best winery in Italy by the Associazione Italiana Sommelier (AIS) in 2009 and two years later by the magazine Wine Enthusiast crowned winery of the year.
