Good To Know: Le Macchiole is known for its three varietal wines namely: Paleo (Cabernet Franc), Messorio (Merlot) and Scrio (Syrah). They are known throughout the world as one of the best varietal wine makers in not just Bolgheri, but in all of Italy. Their vineyards have been organically farmed since 2002.

Established in 1983 by a young couple, Eugenio Campolmi and Cinzia Merli, Le Macchiole released their first vintage in 1987. This was followed shortly by the release of their now flagship wine, Paleo in 1989. Paleo at that time, was a Bordeaux blend as was the fashion of most wines in the region at that time. In the 90's, Le Macchiole began to move towards the of production of varietal style wines and thus, both Scrio and Messorio were created. Campolmi eventually passed away in 2002, and the estate has since been run by Merli.

First made in 1994, Messorio began as a personal challenge with one of the most common grape varieties not only in Bolgheri, but also throughout the Tuscan coast and worldwide: Merlot. The aim was to select the finest grapes and create a bold wine with a strong character, moving away from the usual soft and expected style often linked to Merlot. Instead, the focus was on crafting a top-quality wine ready to compete. The name "Messorio" alludes to the wheat harvest, a crucial part of the farming cycle.

Le Macchiole Messorio Toscana IGT 2020 is a profound and elegant expression of Merlot from Bolgheri, showcasing the estate’s commitment to single-varietal excellence. Sourced from the Puntone and Vignone vineyards, the wine undergoes fermentation and maceration in concrete and stainless steel tanks, followed by 18 months of aging in French oak barriques. It reveals deep ruby hues and an alluring aromatic profile of blackberry, plum, violet, coffee, cedar, leather, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, Messorio 2020 is full-bodied and layered, with velvety tannins and bright acidity supporting flavors of dark fruit, chocolate-covered cherry, tobacco, and earthy mineral tones. Rich yet refined, it balances concentration with finesse and offers impressive aging potential well into the 2040s. This vintage continues Messorio’s legacy as one of Italy’s most distinguished and collectible Merlots.

I first visited without notice to scout the venue for a business meeting, and they kindly showed me around. This time, I returned for a private dinner.

Communication via WhatsApp was seamless and friendly, allowing us to pre-order the Gambas al Ajillo and Cochinillo. The Gambas was cooked to perfection with amazing flavor, and the Cochinillo was a masterpiece—crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.

The timing of the service was impeccable. Thank you for a beautiful evening. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be back ☺️
