Situated in Toscana’s hotbed of famous estates, Le Macchiole’s modest 11 hectares produces some of the most consistently outstanding wine in Bolgheri. The quality-focused dedication from owner Cinzia Merli Campolmi and wine consultant Luca D' Attoma has yielded outstanding results. Le Macchiole has been bottling fine wine since 1975, their production gained momentum in 1984 when Bolgheri wines really began enjoying world-wide acclaim. In 1992 , Le Macchiole’s 'Paleo’ tied for first place with the coveted Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Grattamacco in a comparative tasting of Toscana’s best, planting the estate’s stakes awareness on the Italian fine wine scene. When Paleo placed second to Chateau Pichon Lalande at VinItaly 1995, Le Macchiole earned its full stripes, acceding to the forefront of internationally recognized premium estates. Impressively, Le Macchiole’s fundamental commitment to quality manifests itself in exceedingly low yields equating to one bottle per vine. Their entire line-up offers extraordinary drinking, if you can get your hands on it!
