Le Macchiole

Klassischer Bolgheri Rosso mit kräftigem Bouquet von Himbeeren und Johannisbeeren, Cassis und etwas Tabak. Saftiger, vollmundiger Geschmack, schönes Tannin und gute Säure. Wunderbarer Einstieg in die große Welt der Le Macchiole-Weine. (superiore.de)

"Mittleres leuchtendes Rubinrot. Duftet nach reifer Cassis und Holunderbeeren, vielschichtig, sehr einladend. Sehr harmonisch am Gaumen, gezeichnet von jungem Tannin und etwas Säure, welche die Frucht sehr gut unterstützt, mittellang und trinkig!" Falstaff

"The 2015 Bolgheri Rosso is mostly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. The Merlot is harvested on the early side in order to preserve acidity, meanwhile the other varieties are harvested a bit later to add softness and roundness. In order to highlight the crispness of the fruit, one-fourth of the mass is aged in cement and the rest goes into various types of neutral barrel. This terrific wine boasts firm lines and a soft, cherry-driven core. The finish offers a quirky collection of exotic spice aromas that are mild and subtle." Robert Parker

"Packed with cherry and black currant flavors, this red is fruity and effusive. Firm, but the tannins are coated in flesh and the finish offers spice and mineral accents." Wine Spectator

Paleo Bianco aus Sauvignon und Chardonnay ist ein großartiger Weißer der Toskana auf höchstem Niveau. Frisches Bouquet nach Zitrone und Apfel, cremige Textur und Noten von Melone und Pfirsich am Gaumen. Schöne Mineralität und tiefgründige aromatische Finesse. (superiore.de)

"To be released at the end of this year, the 2014 Paleo feels and looks like it comes from a cooler vintage. Indeed it does. The wine reveals fine lines and an increasingly finessed bouquet that is not immediately evident when you first contemplate this wine. It takes a few minutes to gain power and volume. In fact, this vintage of Paleo is almost floral in character with delicately perfumed tones of rose petal and dried violets. The wine's appearance is just a tad less dense in color saturation." Robert Parker

Scrio bezeichnet im toskanischen Dialekt eine Person, die geradeaus ist und nichts zu verbergen hat. Und ebenso symphatisch, um nicht zu sagen schlichtweg genial, kommt der reinsortige Syrah Scrio daher: Funkelnde Farbe, ausgeprägt würzige Nase nach Lorbeer und weißem Pfeffer, dazu Brombeere und Vanille. Am Gaumen zeigt sich seine immense Struktur, eine feine Säurenote und der reiche, kraftvolle, langanhaltende Geschmack. (superiore.de)

"Currant bush and blueberry aromas follow through to a full to medium body, with medium tannins and a chocolate, berry and vanilla bean after taste." James Suckling

"Funkelndes Rubingranat, violette Reflexe. Eindringliche Nase mit viel frischer Frucht, nach Heidelbeeren und Holunderbeeren, unterlegt von Noten nach dunklem Pfeffer. Saftig und klar in Ansatz und Verlauf, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, tiefgründig und fest, im Finale viel saftige Frucht." Falstaff

"Bold and complex, this Syrah opens with intense, superrich notes of chocolate fudge, maraschino cherry, tobacco, sweet spice and rum cake. Smooth, elegant and persistent, this amazing expression boasts ripe fruit tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2011 Scrio is the vintage darling. The wine boasts abundant varietal character with black fruit and Morello cherry in center stage. Asian spice and barbecue smoke round off the edges and the wine delivers a lavish dose of crushed stone, soda, blue flower and smoked bacon as well. It stands tall with wide shoulders supported by finely etched tannins, thick concentration and a bright spot of acidity on the long finish." Robert Parker

"Readers who haven't tasted Scrio in a few vintages will be taken aback by the 2011. Once an inky, super-concentrated wine, today's Scrio is all about finesse. Crushed flowers, rose petals, sweet red berries and mint are some of the many notes that blossom in a wine built on nuance and varietal expression. Hints of black pepper, game, lavender, menthol and smoke develop in the glass, adding further layers of complexity. Cool-climate aromatics meet the pure power and breadth of Bolgheri in an utterly compelling Syrah with a bright future. Of all the Macchiole's wines, Scrio is the one wine that has changed the most in recent years. The 2011 represents a move in a very different direction. It will be interesting to see where that road leads." Antonio Galloni

"Tiefdunkles Rubinviolett. Eröffnet mit betont würzigen Noten, nach Zedern und Fichten, auch viel Rosmarin, dahinter Preiselbeeren, Brombeeren und dunkler Pfeffer. Zeigt sich mit viel griffigem, präsentem Tannin, spannende Gewürzmischung, nach Kardamom und Wacholder, lange und herzhaft, vibrierend." Falstaff

"A meaty, peppery version, with ample plum and blackberry fruit. The tannins are well-integrated. Concludes with echoes of spice and tobacco." Wine Spectator

"Funkelndes, intensives Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Eröffnet in der Nase mit Noten nach Zedernholz, feine Würzigkeit, dahinter pralle Frucht. Am Gaumen satt und klar, zunächst leicht würzige Komponenten, entfaltet sich dann mit dichtmaschigem, feinem Tannin in vielen Schichten, lange und anhaltend, im Finale viel frische Frucht." Falstaff

"A wine with great structure and muscular tone. It is full-bodied with chewy tannins that remain polished and very pretty. The length and fruit are fantastic; it goes on for minutes. Pure merlot. Better in 2016." James Suckling "The 2010 Messorio boasts stunning depth and richness. Over the last few months, the 2010 has found a new level of finesse that wasn't apparent earlier this year. Hints of dark cherry, plum, cloves and tar flesh out on the huge, powerful finish." Antonio Galloni

"Leuchtendes, intensives Rubinviolett. Wunderbar verführerische Nase, duftet nach Himbeeren, Brombeeren, dahinter feine Schokolade. Im Ansatz zunächst etwas zaghaft, zeigt viel saftige Beerenfrucht, zieht dann los und öffnet sich in vielen Schichten mit feinmaschigem Tannin, baut sich lange auf, im Finale fest und mit schönem Druck." Falstaff

"Round, ripe and opulent, this landmark Merlot offers lingering tones of ripe black fruit, tobacco and spice. Oak-driven aromas are still evident at this point, so give it another 10-15 years of cellaring. Lingering smoke and spice notes add to the long finish. Messorio is one of the most complete and complex Italian interpretations of Merlot." Wine Enthusiast

"I have tasted this wine a number of times and it ranges from 97 to 98 points in my scoring. The subtlety and depth to this is amazing. Aromas of ripe fruit, chili powder, and toasted oak with hints of rosemary follow through to a full body, with very fine tannins and a long finish. Integrated and attractive now, but better in 2014." James Suckling
