 Producer:
Le
Macchiole
Region: Toscana
DOC(G):
Bolgheri
About the Producer:
Situated in
Tuscany’s
hotbed of famous estates, Le Macchiole’s modest 25 acres produced
some of the most consistently outstanding wine in Bolgheri. The
extraordinary
quality-focused dedication of the Campolmi family has shown outstanding
results. Bottling fine wine since 1975, their production gained
momentum
in 1984 when Bolgheri wines really began enjoying world-wide acclaim.
Then in 1992, Le Macchiole's Paleo tied for first place with the
coveted
Sassicaia, Ornellaia and
Grattamacco in a comparative tasting of Tuscany’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!
