Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2022 from coastal Tuscany is a seriously classy Super‑Tuscan, led by Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah delivering a supple but structured red packed with dark cherry, blackberry and plum over notes of spice, cocoa and warm, iron‑rich earth. The palate is medium to full‑bodied and beautifully polished, with juicy black and red fruits, hints of herbs and graphite, ultra‑fine tannins and a long, fresh finish that shows off Bolgheri’s trademark balance rather than sheer power.

For the table, this Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2022 is a no‑brainer with bistecca, grilled lamb, Tuscan sausages, ragu‑laden pasta or a good burger, where that generous fruit and savoury backbone really flex. It is just as comfortable alongside hard cheeses, roast veg and Friday‑night pizza, especially with a quick decant to let those berries and herbs unfurl.

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2022 is fermented in stainless steel then aged about 10 months in a mix of used barriques and concrete, giving a refined, modern Bordeaux‑meets‑Bolgheri profile that drinks brilliantly now but will improve for 6–8 years. It’s an outstanding entry into one of Bolgheri’s most revered estates at a far friendlier price than its Paleo, Scrio and Messorio stablemates.
