Merchant's description

Paleo Le Macchiole 1998 is a noteworthy expression of Bolgheri terroir, crafted predominantly from Cabernet Franc. Since its first vintage in 1989, Le Macchiole has aimed to elevate the region`s profile through meticulous viticulture and vinification. The name Paleo is derived from a wild herb indigenous to the Tuscan coast, reflecting the winery`s commitment to local character. This vintage reveals complex aromas of ripe black fruits, herbal notes and a distinctive minerality, offering a glimpse into the nuances of its maturation. Le Macchiole continues to champion a modern interpretation of Tuscan winemaking.
