The Story

Paleo Rosso has been called Italy’s landmark expression of Cabernet Franc. This grape variety is growing internationally as a distinct bottling, but Bolgheri has proven to be the single best place in the world to do so. The Mediterranean climate and surroundings result in a wine of extraordinarily expressive, sensual, and textural fruits and savory spices.

Paleo Rosso is sourced from four of the estate’s five vineyards: Casa Nuova, Vignone and Madonnina. Vines are planted in two training systems, Double cordon and single guyot.

The 100% Cabernet Franc is macerated and fermented for 20 days in concrete tanks, and subsequently aged for 20 months in oak barrels with 75% new and 25% second passage. The wine is fruther aged in bottle for 16 months before release.

Written Notes

Dark, ruby red colour. Refined, focused and very elegant nose with dark cherries, spices, and black currants enhanced with fine nuances of led pencil and touch of anis. Full-bodied, vivid, spicy and savoury palate with refined, smooth tannins and gentle spicy minerality. The finish is lingering with ripe blackcurrant and spicy flavours. Very silky texture with great vibrancy and ripe powdery tannins. Drinking well already, but will benefit from further cellaring another 5-7 years. Decant now for 2 hours and serve at 17-18C with grilled beef, roasted wild boar or sauteed venison fillet. – JL 95p (11/2018)

Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso 2013 / 2013 is a benchmark vintage in Toscana, and this ’13 Paleo Rosso is a shining example of the vintage’s beauty. Sweet, pure red and blue fruits are framed with crushed lavender, fresh-cut herbs, warm loam, licorice and espresso in this expressive, sophisticated wine. At once crystalline and sensual, the ’13 Paleo Rosso glides across the palate with a silky mouth-feel, revealing a remarkable texture, polished tannins, and a beguiling oscillation between its sweet inner perfume and its savory, peppery elements. At one time a blend, in 2001 Le Macchiole made its Paleo Rosso a mono-varietal Cabernet Franc, and this wine sees twenty months of aging in barriques, 75% new. You could drink this wine more or less upon release, but if you’ve the patience, give it a few years in the cellar--your self-discipline will amply reward you.
