It is made from an \u003cstrong\u003eorganic blend\u003c\/strong\u003e of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes, with fermentation in steel and ageing in barrels and cement. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour with violet highlights, while the bouquet opens with aromas of wild berries, green pepper and vanilla, enriched by notes of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant and balanced structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by lively freshness and fine, velvety tannins that lead to a persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red wine is born in the renowned vineyards of Bolgheri, in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci, a short distance from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines benefit from a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm, dry Mediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, constantly tempered by sea breezes that ensure optimal ripening and preserve the vibrancy of the fruit. The soils have a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003ecomposition of sand, galestro and clay\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is essential for giving the wine structure and aromatic clarity. In these \u003cstrong\u003ehighly suitable soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, each variety expresses itself at its best, in full respect of the Tuscan coastal landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction involves careful harvesting of the grapes between August and September. In the winery, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation and maceration in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e for fifteen days ensures precise extraction of colour and tannins. Ageing lasts ten months: most of the wine rests in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to refine the spicy notes, while a smaller portion matures in cement to preserve the freshness of the fruit. This process yields a deep and harmonious red, ideal for pairing with red meats, \u003cstrong\u003egame and blue cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1983, Le Macchiole is a benchmark winery for Tuscan excellence.
