100 Points, Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com 2024“It's deep and decidedly dark in its sensory profile, years after its creation. Notes of black plums blend beautifully with nuances of blackberry, juniper berries, black cherries, sour cherries, dates, white musk, black tea leaves, and incense. The grace of the background contrasts with the power of the dark profile, bringing subtle hints of mixed white flowers such as gardenias and magnolias. The sweetness of the fruit is dominant and dominates, the tannic quality is impressive, bordering on silky, and the finish is engaging and decidedly enthralling, a journey you hope will never end. Exciting. Drink now or age.”
Description
Messorio, a Merlot monovarietal, is the winery’s crown jewel. Its initial vintage was 1994, and since then it has received extraordinary acclaim, including a 100-point score from the Wine Spectator for the 2004 vintage. The name Messorio refers to the ancient Tuscan practice of wheat harvesting, the most important time of the year in the Bolgheri countryside - once it referred to wheat; these days, it is all about grape harvesting.
Le Macchiole can best be defined as the “Boutique Bolgheri.” The winery is known for its spectacular single-varietal wines, and their signature grape varieties are Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc and work is always conducted with the priority being "the expression of the land." The winery continues to evolve in both the vineyards and in the cellar to allow the soil characteristics from this estate property to be the defining identity in the wines.

Dating back to the beginning of the 1980s, Le Macchiole is one of the historic wineries in Bolgheri, and over the years, it has become a reference point for quality Tuscan wine.
Le Macchiole is a story of men and human endeavour – and of one man in particular. With dogged perseverance, Eugenio learned to appreciate and ‘feel’ the land, respecting and interpreting it with great talent and sensitivity. Thanks to his serious effort and determination, Le Macchiole became a point of reference for Bolgheri, which is one of the most celebrated oenological areas in Italy today.
