2018 Le Macchiole, Bolgheri, Paleo Rosso 6x75cl

Vinous 96.5/100

Le Macchiole’s 2018 Paleo Rosso is an unbelievably beautiful wine. It is also very young. The aromatics are total seduction, but otherwise the 2018 is quite reticent. Bright floral notes and red-toned fruit give the 2018 considerable energy and verve as varietal Franc aromas and flavors start to take shape over time. Readers will have to be patient. The 2018 needs at least a few years in bottle to fully blossom. Even so, it is pretty appealing today. [Antonio Galloni, 13/04/2021]
